Why is Val{..}
needed? Shouldn’t constant propagation make Val
obsolete (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/24362)?
Val
forces specialization which can sometimes be desired.

Val
also predates that kind of contant propagation.
Sure, my point was just that even now, there are reasons why it is still useful.

Is there an example, where constant propagation is not enough?
You might not only want to specialize on constants.
