Javascript shim to redefine "const" as "var" for Internet Explorer

Viewed 5885

Internet Explorer doesn't support the "const" keyword. Can I use a shim that checks if "const" is supported and, if not, redefines it as var? I guess it would be nice if it enforced the constancy, maybe using object.Freeze, but I'd be okay with a simple shim.

UPDATE: I want this so I can use existing Javascript libraries that use "const" without modifying them. Obviously, find / replace would work, but it's messy and not very maintainable.
