Is there any real reason to use "const"?

Makes sense when your code if finalized and (properly) checked 
but bugs can be introduced if you haven't finished your code. I 
find myself doing something like the following:

```
if (val)             { one_line_statement(); }
else if (other_val)  { one_line_statement(); }
```

I think it doesn't take much space and at the same time, it looks 
very readable.
