Instead it is sent to an object that afterwards is a constant within a method
(so it will not be evaluated later at runtime again) so IMHO #asMethodConstant
instead of #asMethodConst would be better.

I do not understand any of them.

In other words, this is creating a constant inside the method (#asMethodConstant) instead of making the method return a constant (which would be your #asConstantMethod).
If I have that right.
In any case, not having the contracted 'Const' would be nice.

ah.. that sounds similar to what i proposed for computed literals, that has been computed at compilation time and placed in method's literal frame,

a simple catch by reserving special selector for it, i.e..:

mymethod

��^ (something that should be computed , and takes a loong time) asMethodLiteral

but that, of course, won't work if you would want to cache results based on method's input parameters.
