Constant placeholder for integer make little sense, they make for real 
constant with non trivial vlaue and representation : pi, gold, etc ...

In NT2 we decided to have everything a functor (constant included) and 
forward them to free function. This allow us to have both functionnal 
and object like interface for them.
