Uppercase constants should be allowed or even the only ones allowed.

Consider the code:

    const max_velocity_km: Int = 100

Defined at the top level of the *.ak file, this code of course works fine but.... it is quite common in other languages for contants to use upper case, c does it, java does it, scala does my suggestion would be instead of allow this we would only allow upper case constants like:

  const MAX_VELOCITY_km: Int = 100

Basically currently doing this, code won't even compile with upper case constants. At minimum it should compile and ideally I would argue constants without using upper case parameters should not even compile.

No we're not interested in mixed casing

[matiwinnetou]

Why not, can you explain this because this one I am really surprised you are even against. This is one of "no brainers" from my point of view.

[rvcas]

We just don't like the aesthetic of it. I'm not sure why it needs to be special.

[matiwinnetou]

For my point of view it is simple - constants when they are upper case can be immediately identified in the program execution. One doesn't have to reason about where in the scope is this variable defined, one can be sure it is top level "magic" constant variable.
