[vhdl-200x] Sizing of variables and signals from initial values

Is there any reason that constants can get their array range constraints
from initial values, but variables and signals can't?  (I believe these
rules are standardized, but I'm looking for the reasoning behind the
standard.)  Allowing the latter would make fixed-point design easier.

Thanks!
