See rust-lang/rust#93838
It seems like everyone is onboard with blessing this (useful) behavior as stable.

I don't think we want to do any special-casing based on the name (or lack thereof) of a constant. This rule applies to all non-associated constants and should be documented as such.

Especially since it seems that there is no test in rust-lang/rust that
covers the unamed constant case (even though the implementation covers
it). rust-lang/rust#93838 (comment)
