Why would it? If I recall correctly, const and static stuff basically gets inlined at the beginning of the program.

Why is the YAML part cursed? They serialize to same string, no? Both [1] and [2] serialize to identical strings. This seems like the ancient YAML 1.1 parser curse strikes again. [1] https://play.yaml.io/main/parser

Python 2 is a warning about doing backwards compatibility changes too late. As soon as you have a few massive libraries, your backward compatibility risks grow exponentially. C# did just as big of a change by going from type-erased to reifi
