You might not consider this a bug, or you might consider it not worth
trying to fix.  That's fine by me.  I think it's worth reporting, at
least.  Maybe something can be done for it, or maybe you can let me know
a good way to work around it.

Unlike `defvar', `defconst', alters the value each time it's evaluated.
E.g., if you load a file with (defconst foo bar "...") more than once
then the value of `foo' gets set each time to whatever is the current
value of `bar'.  That's normal and desirable (and consistent with other
Lisps, such as CL).

How to ensure that a defconst sets the value only once, when the file
it's in is loaded?  A defvar does that, but a defconst does not.

Maybe there's a better way, but I've been using this so far:

  (unless (boundp 'foo) (defconst foo bar "..."))

But that results in this byte-compiler warning:

 In blah-fun:
 toto.el:236:34:Warning: reference to free variable
     `foo'

An alternative is to use a defvar and just say in its doc string that
it's intended as a constant (don't set it etc.).  Maybe that's less
confusing to users than seeing the warning?  Dunno.
