This surprises me. This makes it sound like inlining and vectorizztion are performed independently of constant folding. It seems like the compiler should be able to recognize when a function depends only on its inputs. Then constant folding should be able to inline / evaluate any code that can be compile-time evaluated, no matter how much code that is. It doesn't seem like this should be left up to chance.
