Personally, I don't use late static binding with class constants since the
coding standard rule I previously referenced forbids this, but I don't
think a coding style rule should be our only possibility to disallow
constant overriding.
After learning about the strange behavior Nikita pointed out, final
constants would be even more useful than what I initially thought.
