Hello l0t3k,
if you really need consts for internal classes you should take a look at
zend_API.c:zend_declare_property_*() functions on how to create internal
zval's. Also you need to adapt the handling of default properties from
zend_compile.c:zend_initialize_class_data() to the constant table.
That we didn't do this yet has something to do with nothing besides the
reflection needs it. And for the reflection we go another way.
