Parrot Byte Code (.pbc) files (aka packfiles) have multiple sections, but
Parrot
Assembly (.pasm) files do not reference them explicitly. Literal constants
are
*implicitly* placed in the constant section of the .pbc file upon
assembly. The
.constant or .const directives allow you to name your constants, but the
net
result is equivalent.

Thanks. Apparently I'm being daft. I don't see any mention of pasm
sections(constant or otherwise) in the pod docs, nor do any of the
examples appear to use a constants section. What am I missing?
