Description:
------------
i would have expected that opcache optimizes the repeated FETCH_CONSTANT out

---------------------------------

define('IS_ROBOT', 1);

function a()
{
 return IS_ROBOT . IS_ROBOT . IS_ROBOT . IS_ROBOT;
}

function b()
{
 $IS_ROBOT = IS_ROBOT;
 return $IS_ROBOT . $IS_ROBOT . $IS_ROBOT . $IS_ROBOT;
}

         2*       FAST_CONCAT                                      ~2      ~1, !0

Expected result:
----------------
i would have expexted that repeatet FETCH_CONSTANT within a function is optimized out like the second implementation doing it in userland by copy it to a local variable

not that much of a performance overhead but on the other hand if it's a function which a loop using dozens of constants more than once.....

50 Mio calls without and with opcache, a full second runtime difference while native optimization could be faster than the handcrafted copy into a local variable is a lot of runtime given it's just 4 usages

in real world code this could sum up much more when it's a funtion lopping over some large array and using the same constant thousands of times at once
