This is awesome! Once it’s merged I suppose we can finally remove the “feature” that allows rebinding constant variables 😃

@lewis: the `typeconst` name would not be appropriate, as explained here: [Const variables - #13 by Henrique\_Becker](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/const-variables/42956/13) . It gives the wrong idea that it’s OK to change the value of a `const` integer for example.
