This will also be a valtree then.
Hm, that makes me wonder whether we shouldn't change the type here from mir::Const to something that enforces val-tree-ness... that was part of the goal of the big const pattern changes we did last year.
I don't know how the String case is represented though.

Yeah I don't know about the String case :3 mir::Const does seem a bit funny to me too

Raw Pointers are Constant PatKinds too
raw pointers can be matched on with a const pattern:
```rust
const FOO: *const u8 = core::ptr::null();
fn foo(a: *const u8) {
match a {
FOO => (),
_ => todo!(),
}
}
```
as far as I can tell this is represented with a `PatKind::Constant`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/compiler/rustc_mir_build/src/thir/pattern/const_to_pat.rs#L333-L337
