Yes, just another problem with PHP. After the second assignment, $val
is actually a reference to TRUE. However, a variable should not be able
to reference a constant. For instance, what would the following do?

$val &= TRUE;
$val = 3;

Are we setting TRUE to 3 (that's what a reference should do, after all).

This is why other languages don't allow references to constants.
