# Predicate folding from inference (jolt-wcw): when the collection-type # inference PROVES the argument's type, a type predicate (number?/string?/ # keyword?/nil?/some?/record?) folds to a compile-time boolean constant, which # the trailing const-fold then propagates — collapsing any `if` it gates to the # taken branch. Sound: only a provable answer folds, and only when the argument # is side-effect-free (a local or const), so dropping its evaluation is a no-op. # Mirrors type-infer-test.janet's harness (count a marker in the emitted IR to # prove the optimization fired, then evaluate to prove it stayed correct).
