Why does macro hygiene not prevent collisions between multiple const definitions?

Question

I thought "hygiene" would prevent collisions between Xs defined within my macro m! but that turned out not to be the case. What am I misunderstanding?

macro_rules! m {
    ($e:expr) => {
        const X: i32 = $e;
    };
}

m!(0);
m!(1);

fn main() {
    m!(2);
    m!(3);
}

Playground

Error message:

error[E0428]: the name `X` is defined multiple times

  = note: `X` must be defined only once in the value namespace of this module

From The Rust Programming Language (first edition)'s section on macro hygiene:

This [i.e. renaming] holds for let bindings and loop labels, but not for items

The Rust reference defines items:

An item is a component of a crate. Items are organized within a crate by a nested set of modules. Every crate has a single "outermost" anonymous module; all further items within the crate have paths within the module tree of the crate.

Items are entirely determined at compile-time, generally remain fixed during execution, and may reside in read-only memory.

There are several kinds of items:

• modules
• extern crate declarations
• use declarations
• function definitions
• type definitions
• struct definitions
• enumeration definitions
• union definitions
• constant items
• static items
• trait definitions
• implementations
• extern blocks

This makes sense: if you you introduce an item in a macro you presumably want to actually use it from other items/modules/crates (and thus outside the macro), but you can't if you don't know its name, so the compiler can't rename it.
