Calls to constant subs already get resolved at compile time.  This is
not (entirely) new behaviour.  I'm relaxed about runtime monkey-patching
not working; compile-time monkey-patching seems eminently adequate.

Bigger picture: if we decide that only the runtime-dynamic behaviour is
correct, then that rules out huge swathes of optimisability.  Whether it
was originally correct or not, compile-time resolution is the healthier
direction in which to evolve.
