11/// If the given def is a trivial const, returns the value and type the const evaluates to.
12///
13/// A "trivial const" is a const which can be easily proven to evaluate successfully, and the value
14/// that it evaluates to can be easily found without going through the usual MIR phases for a const.
15///
16/// Currently, we support two forms of trivial const.
17///
18/// The base case is this:
19/// ```
20/// const A: usize = 0;
21/// ```
22/// which has this MIR:
23/// ```text
24/// const A: usize = {
25///     let mut _0: usize;
26///
27///     bb0: {
28///         _0 = const 0_usize;
29///         return;
30///     }
31/// }
32/// ```
33/// Which we recognize by looking for a Body which has a single basic block with a return
34/// terminator and a single statement which assigns an `Operand::Constant(Const::Val)` to the
35/// return place.
36/// This scenario meets the required criteria because:
37/// * Control flow cannot panic, we don't have any calls or assert terminators
38/// * The value of the const is already computed, so it cannot fail
39///
40/// In addition to assignment of literals, assignments of trivial consts are also considered
41/// trivial consts. In this case, both `A` and `B` are trivial:
42/// ```
43/// const A: usize = 0;
44/// const B: usize = A;
45/// ```
