Yuck, yuck about the source file encoding part. Also, there is no way to tell that a particular argument was passed a literal. There is when compiling to bytecode; it goes in coconsts.

The very definition of "this was a literal" is iffy -- is x a literal when passed to f below? x = "abc" f(x) No, it isn't.

By that definition, bytes never receives a constant.

Regards, Martin
