+\begin{description}
+\item[@"extern"] A boolean flag: if true, then the instance is public, and

+  the instance is only available to code defined within the module.
+\item[@"const"] A boolean flag: if true (the default), then the instance is
+  read-only, and may end up in write-protected storage at run-time; if false,
+  then the instance will be writable.
