Senseless ... you differentiate by DB field already. No need to tell the 
system that it actually is inside a specific DB field.

Same is true for TypoScript. It does not matter if it is for constants, 
setup, page or user, it is always parsed the same way with the very same 
parser.
The only real difference is a different condition matcher for frontend and 
backend.
That's is.
The parser parses the TypoScript into a PHP array and then hands it over to 
the calling function, which in turn does something useful with it.
TypoScript does not care what you write there, as long as you can somehow 
interpret it as TypoScript.

Same is true for CSV files. I can open any CSV file into my spreadsheet 
application, because the format is important, not the content.
