I revive that this thread as I did another change, that hasn't seen any
review. I thought about waiting a few days, but then I read that the
0.19b1 was tagged and I would like to see this change merged before the
final 0.19. Though I don't know if that's possible with Cython's release
procedure.

The pull request is here: https://github.com/cython/cython/pull/204

With that one merged I got rid of all warnings I got when using a
library that makes heavy use of consts.

Cheers,
