Maybe I'm being dense, but I fail to see the point. The code has the exact same sequence of tokens in all cases, just with different names for the constant. The fact that a Ctrl+F doesn't find all related uses seems to be the only argument and it doesn't convince me. The article does not provide an alternative solution, or a discussion of the upsides of different naming conventions (e.g. knowing that ALL_CAPS is almost surely a compile-time constant).
