@tbaeder -- do you have plans to continue to add support to the experimental constant expression evaluator?

If this is code that we have people actively working on with plans to bring it to completion, then I think showing signs of life in the release notes is a good idea. If we don't have anyone who is planning to bring this through to completion, I think we should seriously considering pulling it out of the tree rather than trying to maintain parallel constant expression evaluators. (We wouldn't be pulling it out of the tree because we don't like the design, so if someone wanted to resurrect it in the future because they planned to complete it, we'd gladly welcome it.)
