Hi there!

Just noticed that (shorthand and long) prefix patterns cannot be defined as constants. During a quick search I couldn't find this behaviour documented, so maybe it might be considered a bug?

This is expected. Prefix patterns are not independent entities, it is just a syntax to write prefix set literals.
