Erk.  No.  That would be annoying.  Sure I can understand using
$smarty.const.CONSTANT etc when using the {$var} syntax as without a
prefix there would be no way of differentiating between function calls
and constants but that is just plain annoying (and unnecessary) in {if }
tags.  Though understandable if you wanted a consistent API.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of the whole
$smarty.{section,const,capture} business.
