General solution? (untested)
1) define a function to return a value of the desired type and 
value.
2) use it to assign a value to a constant.

I suspect that this function might need to be static, but I 
seem to remember that const is intentionally limited to 
rom-able values, so that shouldn't be too restrictive.

It's still not as pleasant as being able to assign once.
