in thread BEGIN block and failure to initialize constants

Oh man, I was overthinking this problem way too much. For some reason I thought constants were a special case and forgot entirely about use's equivalence to a BEGIN block as you just described.

Thanks for dusting that knowledge off for me kennethk.

Also, cool note about nesting those blocks, TIL. =)

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.
