There is already some const support by declaring read-only properties :

public var readonly(default,null) : Int;

The property can only be modified by the class methods and its
subclasses. I'll think about "internal" but I'm not sure it fits nicely
within the haXe type system (it has to play nice with type inference).

Nice to hear that ;)
Good luck with ActionStep port !

Best,
