    Support OLD Perl versions by returning value after croak.

    Perl isn't clever enough to notice croak throws exception and thinks
    it has to return a value. Now fake value is returned as lvalue - the
    only way to access it however is modifying `Carp::croak` to not throw

    print "But now, the second element is ", (LIST)[1], "\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This pragma lets you make inconstant constants, just like the constants
the users of Ruby or Opera (before Opera 14, that is) already enjoyed.

Unlike Perl constants, that are replaced at compile time, Acme
constants, in true dynamic programming language style, can be modified
even after declaration.

Just like constants generated with standard C<use constant> pragma, the
constants declared with C<use Acme::Constant> don't have any sigils.
This makes using constants easier, as you don't have to remember what
sigil do constants use.

=head1 NOTES

As the Perl compiler needs to know about which barewords are keywords,
