//! Checking that constant values used in types can be successfully evaluated.
//!
//! For concrete constants, this is fairly simple as we can just try and evaluate it.
//!
//! When dealing with polymorphic constants, for example `std::mem::size_of::<T>() - 1`,
//! this is not as easy.
//!
//! In this case we try to build an abstract representation of this constant using
//! `thir_abstract_const` which can then be checked for structural equality with other
//! generic constants mentioned in the `caller_bounds` of the current environment.
