That depends on what other programming languages we're talking about. The current use of 'constant' in the manual corresponds reasonably closely to 'const' objects in C and C++.
Since we're talking about non-scalar values, do you mean constant pointers to (generally) mutable objects? Or a constant aggregate of mutable objects?
When a value is constant in C or C++, you can't change it.
