Constant evaluation does not normally traverse the AST in the way you mean.  It 
does this when evaluating a constexpr function, but that's not the dominant 
case of constant evaluation.

At the LLVM level, I think inlining, reordering, and ABI requirements on calls 
argue against a simple implementation model based on setting hardware flags 
when a pragma is entered and resetting them on exit.
