+CTFE is the mechanism used by the compiler, primarily, to evaluate items like `const x: T = ...;`.
 The `...` here is going to be Rust code that must be "run" at compile-time, because it can be used as a constant in the code -- for example, it can be used for array lengths.
 
 Notice that CTFE is *not* the same as constant propagation: Constant propagation is an optimization pass done by LLVM that will opportunistically change code like `3 + 4` into `7` to avoid run-time work.

 CTFE is only used in places like the value of a `const` or the length of an array.

 We say that the `3 + 4` above is in *const context* and hence subject to CTFE, but the `4 + 3` is not.
