[issue44816] PEP 626 does not explain the handling of constants, at all.

Thanks for clarifying.

I'm worried, though, that the PEP's emphasis on "*all* lines of code executed and *only* for lines of code that are executed" could be problematic for other optimizations we perform. Consider:

if (  # <--
    True  # <--
):
    pass  # <--

I understand why lines 1 and 4 are covered, since PEP 626 defines "if" and "pass" keywords as executable code. But line 2 isn't executed at runtime (it's peepholed into a NOP)... is it a bug that it creates a line event?
