This adds more complexity for the average user :-(

Why not use separate directories for these if you have to include a lot 
of constants and setup.

While these share the basic structure and syntax of TypoScript, I prefer 
to call these TSconfig. They don't have the same features as TypoScript 
and have a different target environments (TypoScript is for frontend, 
TSconfig for backend).
The same syntax is also used in backend layouts, form definitions, but I 
certainly wouldn't call that TypoScript.

That's flow and not TYPO3 CMS.

Sorry, these rather cryptic extensions are not very easy to understand. 
It's far easier to use a directory structure. For example:

Resources/Private/Configuration/TypoScript/Constants/*
Resources/Private/Configuration/TypoScript/Setup/*
Resources/Private/Configuration/pageTSconfig/*
Resources/Private/Configuration/userTSconfig/*
