Not really. You'd probably still need a powerful constant

single trivial CTFE invocation.
Why is that? You could just aggregate them and execute them in
a single run.
It is not possible as semantic analysis of a given piece of code
can depend of the CTFE of another.
Also JITing for trivial thing that could be constant folded is
much slower.
