Subject: [PATCH] If constant folding fails, don't fold constants, rather than
 reporting the error at compile time. This allows illegal constant expressions
 in dead code to be ignored.

-=head2 Constant folding

-The peephole optimiser should trap errors during constant folding, and give
-up on the folding, rather than bailing out at compile time.  It is quite
-possible that the unfoldable constant is in unreachable code, eg something
-akin to C<$a = 0/0 if 0;>
