Unless this occurs in real world code, we should not care about fixing this
stuff.  Note that:

 int z = (&"Foobar"[1] - &"Foobar"[0]);

is not guaranteed to be evaluatable to a constant for many reasons.  For
example, with -fwritable-strings, the two strings will be distinct.

Yes we want to be compatible with GCC, but there is a line of pragmatics that
we need to draw also.  We're not going to reimplement all of GCC's "fold"
optimizer in clang.
