This does not seem like a good idea to me. eval_const_expressions is not
a cheap thing, and for most use-cases those cycles will be wasted, and it
has never been the responsibility of preprocess_targetlist to do this sort
of thing.

Please put the responsibility of doing const-expression simplification
in these cases somewhere closer to where the problem is being created.
