Just out of curiosity, can anyone tell me what the difference is between the getCategory and getConstantCategory methods on the schema class please ?

I thought (hoped actually) that getConstantCategory would return the category of a global constant, but the name parameter must be a category name.

The difference is getConstantCategory only searches the receiver whereas getCategory will search the receiver and super schemas in the branch.
