This facility is obsolete for the same reason as -popconstruct-. See
HELP * POPCONSTRUCT. There is an autoloadbale version in the library,
for the sake of backward compatibility.
See REF * OBSOLETE

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    <boolean> -> popdefineconstant;

This variable is local to the procedure POP11_COMP_STREAM, and is
user-assignable. If its value is FALSE (the default value) then all
procedure identifiers are automatically declared as variables during
compilation. If its value is TRUE (or non-false) they are declared as
constant identifiers.

Since it is local to the compiler, it cannot usefully be assigned to in
the users 'init.p' by an ordinary assignment. To change its global
default value in 'init.p' use set_global_valof, e.g.

    set_global_valof(true, "popdefineprocedure");

A similar strategy may be used for POPDEFINEPROCEDURE

The interpretation of these variables is determined by a user-definable
procedure POP11_DEFINE_DECLARE, described in REF * POPCOMPILE.
