constexpr functions are implicitly inline. Therefore, you MUST see the body in
order to call them. We don't have extern inline like C does. It seems to me
that to have what you're requesting, this is what you need to focus on first.

I mean, extern inlines compile, but they does not do what they do in C, which
is to emit an out-of-line non-weak/non-mergeable copy of the function. Compare
