Yes, I could borrow analysis passes from dmd however to check if 
the optimization is applicable.

However I do not intend to do so.
CTFE is mostly used for small one-shot things.
There is no point in eliding calls.
Executing the code as soon as possible is often faster then doing 
the optimization.
