Sooo, this is a draft PR trying to implement this: godotengine/godot-proposals#5832
For now, I'd rather limit the time I spend on it. My plan was to implement a first version without typing (as creating an editor capable of selecting a type, including scripts/classnamed objects, is a complex task).
For now it's not working properly. I think the only thing missing is likely at the "gdscript compilation" level, as I need to be able to assign the constant a value. However, the parser/analyser seems to be working fine, and does not spit any error when seing the new variable. However, at runtime, I get either errors or the singleton does not get assigned.
I'm just opening this PR to discuss if the implementation looks like going in the right direction, and if it is a desired feature of course (I like it a lot, having non-node and non-constant global variables is quite practical)
