For ecpg I don't care, I have to make some changes during translation anyway.
Right now my script just sets both to ecpg_iconst. There is a small advantage
in keeping Iconst/Sconst as it might save me a line or two in the script. As
for the backend I would say that removing Iconst/Sconst make sense. These rules
just add an overhead, albeit a very small one. But still this advantage
outweighs the very small scripting advantage. So yes, I'd remove Iconst/Sconst.
