but what about the old system using ext_typoscript_setup.txt and 
ext_typoscript_constants.txt
- they are automatic used without need to add those lines to ext_tables.php

What is - or is there any - advance using
 > yourext/static/constants.txt
 > yourext/static/setup.txt

instead of
 > yourext/ext_typoscript_constants.txt
