> I have a few questions about const declarators... Let's use the following const declarations as examples: 
> const string s1 = "hello"; 
> const string<10> s2 = "hello"; 
> const string<10 + 2> s3 = "hello"; 
> const string s4 = "hello" + "world"; 
> const string s5 = "hello" << "world"; 
> const string<10 + 2> s6 = "hello" + "world"; 
> const long l1 = 10; 
> const long l2 = 10 + 20; 
> const long l3 = 10 + ((10 | 20 * (100 << 2)) / 2); 
> const float f1 = 3.14 * 10; 
> ...and now for the questions: 
> - do we need to differentiate between const strings and const bounded strings? For example, strings s1 and s2 both have the constant value of "hello". The information about the bound is only used when validating the idl or when converting the wsdl back to idl. Can we relax our tool and generate the same XmlSchema and CorbaTypeMap for both? 
> - do expressions on const strings even make sense? Take constant strings s4 and s5 for example. The IDL grammar allows to produce those declarations, but are they semantically valid? How do you shift "hello" by "world"? Is the + operator overloaded to concatenate strings? 
> - if we differentiate between const strings and const bounded strings, then we will have to compute the <10 + 2> bound spec for string s6, as we can't assign a string to the Corba anonstring type bound member. But if we do that, we lose information and cannot get the original IDL back. 
> - in general, I think we should assign the full string of const_exp to the value="" attribute of the corba:const element in the corbatypemap. That is the value="10 + ((10 | 20 * (100 << 2)) / 2)" for the const long l3 or value="10 + 20" for const long l2, instead of value="30". Will the code generator (wsdl2java) be able to handle this?
