In a perfect world, I think, the compiler would always evaluate

Or, a simpler rule (for both the compiler and the coder):
Have a compiler flag where you set a value (in bytes), and if a
function returns a type that's size is not larger than the set
value, the compiler would execute all calls to that function at
compile-time (if possible).
