I think this is a typically suboptimazing RFE. First, a constant have a constant value. If a programmer want to use a expression in a constant, it´s better to use the constant it in the code and calculate it there. Drop this RFE.

It would be trivial to create such a method, but the evaluation would not take place in the context of the owning class, and more importantly, the returned value would not longer be guaranteed to be a constant. Consider a constant like ::constant loadTime (.datetime~new) attached to a class, it would always return the same value. Unattached, it would return something different each time.
