This is bad from an efficiency point of view. I think Don even
suggested to disallow it.

It still only existing way to define compile-time usable AA
value, disallowing it without fixing alternatives is not an
option.
The only thing I've said we should disallow, is creating a
runtime reference to a value which only exists at compile-time. I
think it is logically nonsensical.
I don't see any problem at all with creating a compile-time AA,
and then looking up an index in it at compile time.
