It's about code that always creates new list structure, versus code that might create new list structure only sometimes (e.g. the first time it's encountered).
Could we call them "interned values"? Like "interned strings" in some programming languages. And then say "don't try to modify them please".
The "sometimes" aspect is a semantic snag, but it's certainly better than calling them constant.
"literal values" is also an option, but that definition seems limiting.
