I'm changing CTFE to use in-place modification. This fixes all those

quite a lot of time to iron out all the corner cases. So that's all I'm
planning on doing right now.
This is a _huge_ improvement, but does it address the issue of freeing
memory or is that beyond the scope?
Outside the scope, but it will use an order of magnitude less memory in
the first place, in the cases which are causing the biggest problems
(such as the one I showed above).
How hard would it be for the compiler to allocate all the memory for a
CTFE evaluation on a second heap, dup the final output and then trash the
entire heap? Or is that how CTFE already works?
Also, thanks a bunch for working on this bug.
