You're right.
I just wanted to inform that the CONST84 may be
a better syntax (according to the postgresql sample,
but it may be only a particular case, I don't know
other examples).
I should have be more precise with:
by default CONST84 expands to CONST, but with
possible additional define's, it may expand to
nothing.
