The EL syntax in this version can reference javabean properties and
collection/map entries. That's it. You can do anything that uses those
features.
You could manually put constant values into a map, and reference the map
entries. If you have to do that a lot, you might consider a class that uses
reflection to "gather" constant values from one or more classes into a map,
keyed by the constant name (perhaps downcasing the keys).
