I tend to avoid constant literals. When they are necessary, I define
them at the top of the class/method that uses them.I like to notice at
first glance that some constants will be used somewhere in the code.
BTW, while I understand the reasons why Stellation code always declare
variables at the end of the class, I don't like it because I am used to
a mix of Pascal (define at top) and C++ (define as needed) declarations.
It's only a matter of personal taste, not an objection.

Rodolfo
