That would be typical in C++ or Java, but that's not the case in D. Phobos 
certainly doesn't work that way in general, and Andrei doesn't want it to. The 
reasoning is that constants are so common in D (likely due to CTFE) that you'd 
have variables all over the place which were in all caps, and it would get 
really annoying. So, no. There is no rule in D that constants should be fully 
uppercase.
