Sorry for that. The problem is that we don't currently have a way to say "give me the compile-time result for this subtree, but don't complain if it's a runtime value". I already needed that in a couple of places when working on Cython, as it can lead to different code when you know the result of an expression. I just never got around to implement this. I think it's wrong that compile_time_value() raises a compiler error. It should rather return the result with a hint if it was determined completely or if part of it is runtime-determined. Then the caller can decide what to do with this information.
