 Replying to [comment:17 alex-ye]:
 > It might be a stupid question , but You worried a lot of the constants
 count ?! Is it really bad ?! and You just suggestion to use class vars
 instead of ?!

 This is not about comment count, it is about making access easier i.e. so
 that you don't first have to test for `if (defined('...'))`, and immutable
 constants cause difficulty in scenarios such as unit testing and/or with
 some plugin use-cases.
