Yeah sounds like a bug but I’ll wait for one the compile guys to verify that.
I belive I was told that const doesn’t actually perform any optimizations but
constref does (for structs yes). I hope that’s right because I don’t want to
feel an urge to type “const” every time I write a function. Honestly I don’t
think I’ve ever used const but just started using constref last year when I
learned about it for the first time (good feature when ever it was added).
