Case fallback (cond) doesn't match consts

Question

Reproduce:

(def ^:const ccc 1) (case 1 ccc :yes :no) (case 1 ccc :yes :hmm :hmm :no)

Second example yields :no because it falls back to {{cond}} which doesn't handle the consts properly.

clojurescript's handling of symbols in case is broken(it diverges from clojure's), but the cond fallback is correct(it matches clojure)

As discussed in that thread we're not re-breaking a thing we broke 2 years ago. It's simply not that important and far too late.
