Constant expressions allow assigning a constant value to an applied term.
+Primitive values of various types are represented as strings so that their type cannot be inferred from the constant expression alone. If such a constant expression is an operand of a larger expression, clients MUST assume that the operand has the type demanded by the larger expression, for example in a client-side function or in a comparison with another operand of known type. (In the $In comparison in example 75 if Fabric is a collection of Edm.String, the constant expression "Blue" is a string, not a binary value.)
