[issue11462] Peephole creates duplicate and unused constants

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Sorry Eugene, but I'm not willing to add that much complexity to save a few bytes.  This was a known issue and long ago we choose to leave it as-is.  In the future when constant folding is done at the AST level, we'll get more extensive optimizations and they won't produce duplicate or unused constants as a by-product.
