If I indicate an example, this is the example. To be more detailed,
"leaf  add a word to dictionary" is constant variable.


For contrast, I show an example when variable is not constant.

branch hi
   leaf   hi hiragana input mode
   leaf   ka katakana input mode

In this case, iconic-label of branch is hi or ka.

But, I think these examples are not easy to understand, because their
form are after mapped helper-protocol. Constant variable has only 1
state definition, the constant property has only 1 possible state.

My proposal of previous mail is that make an exception in favor of
handling of these constant variables. (Ordinary, property is mapped to
branch, but constant property is mapped to leaf).
