What is really needed is the ability to update variables in
place.
Currently every mutation allocates a new value.
IMO the underlying problem is that CTFE operates on full AST
nodes.
To solve this, we either need a separate data representation for
CTFE or even better work on JITing.
JITing can wait. Just an abstract interpreter would be a huge
improvement on what we have currently. As long as it is designed
to allow JITing in the future.
