/// Note that Constants are immutable (once created they never change) and are 
/// fully shared by structural equivalence.  This means that two structurally
/// equivalent constants will always have the same address.  Constant's are
/// created on demand as needed and never deleted: thus clients don't have to
/// worry about the lifetime of the objects.
