Adopting JEP 303 (Intrinsics for LDC and INVOKEDYNAMIC) into Amber

[Remi Forax]

It's not clear in the current draft, but the compiler should fail if it can not create a const value for a whole expression send as arguments of ldc or indy.
Otherwise it's like any systems doing partial application at compile time, you spend your time finding why there is a regression.

and i still think that the whole Constable interface should not be visible from the user, only Constantables and Intrinsics should be visible.
also all intermediary objects should be value types, no ? 

regards,
Rémi
