(you forgot to put [1] into code-tags)

Well a compile-time constant with varying refs? Looks pretty much like just another constructor like [1] to me.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw/pp dd/;


use constant a => 1;
$\="\n";

print \1;   # SCALAR(0xdf00e0)
print \1;   # SCALAR(0xdef540)

print \(a); # SCALAR(0x2a19c70)
print \(a); # SCALAR(0x2a19c70)
