1. [common] Said of data inserted directly into a program, where it
cannot be easily modified, as opposed to data in some {profile},
resource (see {de-rezz} sense 2), or environment variable that a
{user} or hacker can easily modify.
2. In C, this is esp. applied to use of a literal instead of a
#define macro (see {magic number}).
