Optimizing constant branches

[YulienPohl]

The current speed of the simulator is already fast but could be improved when constants are used.
I know not driven constant signals are optimized however not branches that are driven but not used.

For example

is optimized

is not despite the constant multiplexer, and gate, etc.

[hneemann]

Such optimization would only make a difference when such circuits are built, and I don't think that happens often enough to be worth the effort.

[YulienPohl]

You're right, it is only necessary when complex generic circuits are controlled with constant gates.
