If variables have constant values of a primitive type and they are never mutated (or mutated by constant expressions),

This is an optimization to avoid computation like searching for the value through the name valuepath during runtime.
Conditions for propagation
This must be done in 2 passes.
First pass needs to establish which variables adhere to these conditions and mark them.
The second pass can do this propagation based on that metadata.
Here is an example.
This code would turn into
