IMPORTANT COMMIT: constant is now an ADT (it used to be equal to kernel_name).
MOVITATION: in a forthcoming commit the application of a substitution to a constant will return a constr and not a constant. The application of a substitution to a kernel_name will return a kernel_name. Thus "constant" should be use as a kernel name for references that can be delta-expanded. KNOWN PROBLEMS: the only problem faced is in pretyping/recordops.ml (the code that implements "Canonical Structure"s). The ADT is violated once in this ocaml module. My feeling is that the implementation of "Canonical Structure"s should be rewritten to avoid this situation. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/coq/trunk@6303 85f007b7-540e-0410-9357-904b9bb8a0f7
