Improve const semantics

Currently, when defining a variable with const, all that is ensured is that the variable itself is not reassigned. Properties of the variable can still be reassigned and changed - I'd like this not to be the case.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
// You can't do this:
arr = [1, 2]
// But you can do this:
arr[0] = 2
// This shouldn't be allowed!
// Same applies for structs:
struct Person:
name string
age int
end
const jim = Person("Jim", 29)
// You can't do this:
jim = Person("Sam", 45)
// But you can do this:
jim.name = "Sam"
// And you shouldn't be able to!
