Could (should?!) `case` be const aware?

Hi, thanks for all your time and effort; it's genuinely appreciated in an increasingly strange world.

user> (def ^:const x 1)
#'user/x
user> (case 1 x :x)
Execution error (IllegalArgumentException)
No matching clause: 1

I think I understand, from the docstring, why this doesn't do what I thought it might, but I am curious if it could or should. (:
