You may define constants as follows:

/define/ TWO 2;
/define/ FOUR 4;
/define/ OTHER FOUR;

And properties may use these values as follows:

foo = <1 TWO 3 FOUR 5>;

David, Jon,

Does this seem reasonable?

I think the syntax is simple enough it wouldn't interfere with any more
advanced expression/function/... support in the future, and it could be
easily extended to allow e.g.:

/define/ FOO "BAR";
/define/ BAX [0af8dacb0];
...

This seems very reasonable to me, and very useful. From the syntax it
looks like lower case symbols are allowed also, which is fine with me.

I hope that this can go into dtc as we would definitely use it.

Regards,
Simon

And even arbitrary expressions on the RHS as/when/if support is added
for those more generally:

/define/ A (B | (C << 2));
