pas2js 0.9.0 now does the following for external classes:

When a const with expression like
class const cTemp = '{"page:about2"}';
or simply
const cTemp = '{"page:about2"}';

is used, pas2js inserts the value.

While a const without an expression
const cTemp: string;
is now treated as a readonly variable.

Which means you can simplify many readonly properties to const.
