Would it be worth expanding the ideas of programmatic constant definition into a more general compile-time code execution approach? It would work well with preloading introduced in 7.4, and could allow some of the things frameworks are currently doing at runtime to be done once at compile time (opcode generation time). The work-in-progress language JAI has a very interesting compile time execution system which could possibly be a source of inspiration.
