 * SUMMARY: Reassignment to a const is NOT an error per ECMA
 * See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103602
 *
 * ------- Additional Comment #4 From Brendan Eich 2002-01-10 15:30 -------
 *
 * That's per ECMA (don't blame me, I fought for what Netscape always did:
 * throw an error [could be a catchable exception since 1.3]).
 * Readonly properties, when set by assignment, are not changed, but no error
 * or exception is thrown. The value of the assignment expression is the value
 * of the r.h.s.
 *
 * If you want a *strict* warning, pls change the summary of this bug
 * to say so.
