My motivation is improve speed, reduce memory usage, and quicker startup time for real world applications. If some optimization in FAT optimizer has significant speedup, I want to try it. But this time, my motivation is I felt "everyone think constant folding should go to AST from peephole, there is a patch about it, but unfortunately it was suspended (because of lack of reviewers, maybe)." As reading #28813, I think there are consensus about constant folding should go AST.
