[issue11462] Peephole creates duplicate and unused constants

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Sorry Eugene.  As the person who designed, implemented, and maintains the peephole optimizer, I need to reject the patch.

If better constant folding is wanted, the work needs to be done with AST, not with bytecode.  I would welcome a patch.

Thomas, thanks for your input.
