+ * Similar to statically_true() but produces a constant expression

+ * To be used in conjunction with macros, such as BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(),
+ * which require their input to be a constant expression and for which
+ * statically_true() would otherwise fail.
+ *
+ * This is a trade-off: const_true() requires all its operands to be
+ * compile time constants. Else, it would always returns false even on
+ * the most trivial cases like:
+ *
+ * true || non_const_var
+ *
+ * On the opposite, statically_true() is able to fold more complex
+ * tautologies and will return true on expressions such as:
+ *
+ * !(non_const_var * 8 % 4)
+ *
+ * For the general case, statically_true() is better.
