Research direction

Start by reading WG21-P1383R2 and the follow-up issue #2530, then compare the requested constexpr changes with the feature-test macros listed in the issue. No source files, tests, or implementation entry points are named; completion would require the compiler work for the C++26 feature, and the issue notes that PRs are not currently being accepted.
