I'm not advocating it, and I'm not the one that came up with it. But my
impression is that it is intended to mean:
a = const('a', 5)
This doesn't seem completely pointless:
>>> class const():
... def __init__(self, name, val):
... self.name = name
... self.val = val
... def about(self):
... print(self.name, '=', self.val)
...
>>> a = const('a', 5)
>>> a.val
5
>>> a.about()
a = 5
There might be a way to subclass, e.g. int, so that you don't need to use
`a.val` to get the value. It wasn't obvious to me how to do it in pure
Python with 3 minutes thought.
