Why not just a function CONSTFN that takes a value and returns a function
that will return that value?
So far only two such functions have been asked for, one of which
produces a null value and the other of which produces something
non-null: T, for lack of any better thing. Do we really need a
general function to build such things? I don't think so.
Down with generality, and down with the generals!
