One trap which you mentioned is that gobals have to be redeclared at
least once in each object.
Another trap is that since a global is not constant, users can change
the value.
Calling a function to set those constants as I suggested has a plus
that it can be called as often as desired, like to reset them when
needed.
Further, when the number of those constants goes up, a parameter can
be added to set only a subset in a given call.
