Since "&opt = value" is now assigning a value to option "opt", ":&" cannot be

+ *vim9-const*
+In legacy Vim script "const list = []" would make the variable "list"
+immutable and also the value. Thus you cannot add items to the list. This
+differs from what many languages do. Vim9 script does it like TypeScript: only
+"list" is immutable, the value can be changed.
+
+One can use `:const!` to make both the variable and the value immutable. Use
+this for composite structures that you want to make sure will not be modified.
+
+How this works: >
+ vim9script
+ const list = [1, 2]
+ list = [3, 4] # Error!
+ list[0] = 2 # OK
+
+ const! LIST = [1, 2]
+ LIST = [3, 4] # Error!
+ LIST[0] = 2 # Error!
+It is common to write constants as ALL_CAPS, but you don't have to.
+
+The constant only applies to the value itself, not what it refers to. >
+ cont females = ["Mary"]
+ const! NAMES = [["John", "Peter"], females]
+ NAMES[0] = ["Jack"] # Error!
+ NAMES[0][0] = ["Jack"] # Error!
+ NAMES[1] = ["Emma"] # Error!
+ Names[1][0] = "Emma" # OK, now females[0] == "Emma"
+
+Rationale: TypeScript has no way to make the value immutable. One can use
+immutable types, but that quickly gets complicated for nested values. And
+with a type cast the value can be made mutable again, which means there is no
+guarantee the value won't change. Vim supports immutable values, in legacy
+script this was done with `:lockvar`. But that is an extra statement and also
+applies to nested values. Therefore the solution to use `:const!`.

+Specific items from TypeScript we avoid:
+- Overloading "+", using it both for addition and string concatenation. This
+ goes against legacy Vim script and often leads to mistakes. For that reason
+ we will keep using ".." for string concatenation. Lua also uses ".." this
+ way. And it allows for conversion to string for more values.
+- TypeScript can use an expression like "99 || 'yes'" in a condition, but
+ cannot assign the value to a boolean. That is inconsistent and can be
+ annoying. Vim recognizes an expression with && or || and allows using the
+ result as a bool.
+- TypeScript considers an empty string as Falsy, but an empty list or dict as
+ Truthy. That is inconsistent. In Vim an empty list and dict are also
+ Falsy.
+- TypeScript has various "Readonly" types, which have limited usefulness,
+ since a type cast can remove the immutable nature. Vim locks the value,
+ which is more flexible, but is only checked at runtime.
