Here's a sample, namely the LILO that I use.  The repeated "read-only"
entries are likely redundant, but that's life...

"The  primary  purpose of  the  DATA statement  is  to  give names  to
constants; instead  of referring to  pi as 3.141592653589793  at every
appearance,  the variable  pi  can be  given  that value  with a  DATA
statement and  used instead of the  longer form of  the constant. This
also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change."
