Putting evaluated constants in a CASE

Is there any way to do this?

(defconstant *X* 10)
(case 10 (*X* t)) ==> NIL

It would be really nice to use CASE with constants of some kind. I
could always fall back on COND or IF's, and that isn't a problem. But
if I'm missing a simple backquote operation or syntax construct, I'd
like to learn it ;)
