Exactly. Right now, I can import a class and access its static finals, using
Class.FIELD. But occasionally it's more convenient (also for maintenance) to
define them locally.  (Defining a function returning a value is an acceptable
workaround for simple types and String.)

Initialisation: Yes, for instance, the "global" thing is more like a
workaround than a
solution ;-)
