Compiler issue concerning array keys and constants

[michaelbeckius]

In Smarty 2
$constants.COUNTRY
compiles to
$_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['constants']->value['COUNTRY']

But in Smarty 3 it compiles to
$_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['constants']->value[COUNTRY]

The reason is that I also have a constant named COUNTRY and for some reason Smarty takes the value of the constant and use it as the array key instead of literal 'COUNTRY'.

Is this a bug or an intended change from Smarty 2 to Smarty 3? If intended, why, and can the old behaviour be enabled again somehow?

This is already fixed in the master branch (see #149).
In 3.1.29 you can use $constants['COUNTRY'] instead of the dot syntax as a workaround.

Thanks. I found the same workaround. It will do for now.
