I'm not sure I follow. (I must admit I find this whole discussion a bit
weird, as we're basically just making glorified global variables)

When do you want it to behave as const? When being used as a local
variable?

void foo() {
     const MyEnum var = MyEnum.a;
}

Or are you asking for MyEnum.a to be const except under certain
circumstances? If so, how, why, when and are you sure that makes sense?
