           Summary: Assertion failure in mtype.c - forward reference of
                    aliased-type string constant

alias char TCHAR;

const TCHAR[] READDATAPORT = ISAENUM ~ "\\ReadDataPort\\0";
const TCHAR[] ISAENUM = "ISAPnP";
----------
Assertion failure: 'tn->mod & MODinvariant || tn->mod & MODconst' on line 734
in
 file 'mtype.c'
----------

Declaring the first constant as const char[] instead makes no difference, but
the problem disappears if:
- the second constant is declared as const char[]
- the order is swapped
- both are in a single declaration
