Fine with me. Let me make this remark: in the LyX code I have seen so very many cases of "type const var = ...", used only once, that I thought it may be a coding policy for better readability. Well, indeed it increases the readability. If I remember well from one of my C++ books, the compiler may remove the "type const var = " definitions and plug the value into the place instead of the variable. This certainly will happen for const variables that are used only once. So when I see a long expression, that is difficult to comprehend, I consider ripping it into one or several const defines, to improve readability. Is that alright, or not? Cheers, Rob.
