That wasn't exactly what I meant. What I meant was

- as of right now they are different, and clearly distinct, and it's actually important to unlearn thinking of a const as a var, because they don't do the same thing in practical terms

- that proposal would muddy the distinction.

Yes, they are different, const values doesn't allocated in memory NOW. But who cares? Most gophers just think const values are immutable values.

I mean we could let some const values allocated in memory.

Thankfully the people who make Go do care about conceptual muddles.
