When I came up against this problem myself, I read "a constant expression"
to mean "an expression involving only constants". I think that's a fairly
reasonable parse of the phrase. Thus I expected to be able to combine other
constants using the dot operator as Gary is trying to do. Obviously, it
didn't work, and I removed the "base" constant and replicated its value in
the other constants--a situation constants were designed to obviate.

Gary, you'd probably be better off asking for the technical reason behind
this limitation on a -devel list. :)
