This should probably be handled in the scrutinizer, but for now I guess
it's okay to warn on constants.  Attached is a patch that detects other
constants as well, because that could be an even more common mistake
than a plain #t.

Maybe we should move constant? into common-declarations or something...
The problem is that its comparison with quote is unhygienic (I guess
it's normally used in the compiler after it's been normalised).

Cheers,
Peter
