* 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.
