Description
- Updating flattening such that the instructions within const are all generative
- Updating abstract typecheck to pass over const (not a big deal, since everything's shared in LinkInfo)
- Updating Execute, such that it can call other execute instances recursively to evaluate constants
- Updating tree-walk to show the content of const (and maybe struct too, if we're editing that anyhow, most code would be shared)

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #19 and the unchecked checklist items in this issue. Trace the Execute entry point for recursive evaluation of constants, then inspect the tree-walk entry point for displaying const contents. Done means both unchecked behaviors work while preserving the completed flattening and typecheck changes.
