watch out for the markdown quotes :-)

We probably need to extra para that says something about stable 
suppliers/functions etc. E.g. since these are cleanly built on top of SV, if 
these are constants (again, stored in `static final` field) their access can be 
constant-folded. E.g. make it clear that this property is compositional. It 
doesn't just hold for a single constant SV, but also for another constant 
objects that wraps a SV.
