I actually thought Brett's rationale in the checkin comment was
reasonable (if you get in the habit of putting constants on the left,
then the classic "'=' instead of '=='" typo is a compiler error
instead of a reassignment).

Call it a +0 in favour of letting people put constants on the left in
C code if they prefer it that way, so long as any given if/elif chain
is consistent in the style it uses.

Cheers,
Nick.
