I think you are proving my point.  You say there is no difference 
between:
const MAX_IN = 20;
vs
immutable MAX_IN = 20;

So now I have to try both, and look at the generated code to be 
sure.
p.s. I prefer const since it is easier for C/C++ coders to 
understand.  Using immutable invites the coder to go down the 
whole rat hole of trying to understand how is it different than 
const.
