I think it would be somewhat useful in C. In particular if you have globals
initialized from values you don't own. Example:
```
#include <y.h>
ATTR int x = y; // Will diagnose if becomes 'y' is a non-constant expression.
```
However the current implementation only handles C++ and I'm satisfied with
that. I'll mark the attribute as C++ only and document that change.
