Hmm, I am not sure how to put this down clearly.
I am trying to explain that we want to walk initializers becuase of the
case where *p  originally initialized to &foo is folded into foo you
pointed out and that this transformation can not apply for non-constant
public variables.

How about "It's not necessary to walk the initial value of non-constant public variables because it cannot be propagated by the optimizers."
