Zeev,
   speaking of const, i have a feature request. why not accept "const" in
the global context and create a compile-time global constant ?
e.g.

    const FOO = 1 ;
    const BAR = 2;

    class Barbara {
        const Barbara::BUSH = FOO;
    };

i'd much prefer this as an alternative to the runtime define().
