Then, why not have CONST_INTs carry the modes themselves? This would
even help us detect inconsistencies.
One (minor) reason is memory utilization.
There indeed would be some things simplified by having CONST_INTs (and
integral CONST_DOUBLEs) have modes, but there are other things that
might get more complex and I'm not sure I agree that modes are the
right approach, but I'm also not strongly against it.
