Eg this works fine:

```julia
const a, b = 1, 2

```

and both `a` and `b` end up as constants. I have seen [#7314](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/7314) and [#8925](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/8925) so this should be supported and valid syntax, but I could not find it in the documentation. Is it documented? I am asking because if not, I would make a PR for the docs.

PS.: this just made my life easier with

```julia
using JLD

const ids, counts, data_keys = getindex.(load("data.jld")),
                                         ["test_ids", "test_counts", "fake_data_keys"])

```
