This is not supported by the code generation, so it's a bit of a lie to have them in the language in the first place. There's arguably not even any use for constant records, list and tuples to begin with. So this cleans this up everywhere for the sake of moving forward with the alpha release. This now reduces constants to: - Integer - ByteArray - String Anything else can be declared via a function anyway. We can revisit this choice later.... or not.
