local var <const> = whatever
Constant variables help reasoning about the code, but I think the
current syntax is a bit verbose, and may limit its adoption.
A concise syntax that declares the const property may ease its adoption. For
example: `const var = whatever`
Some languages that make declarations of constant variables simple:
OCaml: let foo = vs let mut foo =
Scala: val foo = vs var foo =
Rust: let x = vs let mut x =
