Initialise a Const Array

Pretty sure I've asked this before but can't find it using search or google.

Can anyone explain why this compiles:

Global PowerupMapping%[]=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

but this fails with "Constant initializers must be constant"

Const PowerupMapping%[]=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

So instead of [] I tried:

Const PowerupMapping%[8]=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

and it says "Constants must be initialized". hmm

It's no big deal, just perplexing as to what the correct syntax is (if any). Perhaps it's not supported.

Don't think you can use const arrays.

Yeah I think that's what we concluded before, I just keep forgetting...

There is no const for objects.
An object is just a reference and is allocated at runtime so it can not be const, which is set at compile time.

Fair enough.
