Technically within the C++ grammar these are declarations of variables and Doxygen dutifully classifies them as such.  But from the programmer's perspective an initialized const variable is _very_ different from a modifiable variable.  So I would like to request a Doxygen feature that would allow initialized constant variables to be grouped separately from other variables.

I tend to agree. Can you file a bug report for this in the bug tracker with severity set to enhancement?
