... get rid of TREE_COMPLEXITY, fix bug 11250, etc. - see my proposal in
comment#15 to bug 14711 (and elsewhere).  (is_const would probably be more
like half a dozen flags rather than one, and you need to wrap type names
as well as expressions to get the constant expression rules correct; see
my discussion of constant expression issues
<http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=buh3kg%24623%241%40pegasus.csx.cam.ac.uk>.)
