I get your idea. I have added overloads for all types. They will all invoke 
`inlint_isCompileConstant`. Given that there are now 7 methods I think a 
separate class is more justified.

Another issue is the duplication of `isConstantExpression(Object)`, but I think 
a separate issue to deduplicate it would be easier.

Thanks a lot.
