* A marker interface indicating that a scalar, constant value

* optimization.
*
* Implementors of {@link #call()} should not throw any exception.
*
* Design note: the interface extends {@link Callable} because if a scalar
* is safe to extract during assembly time, it is also safe to extract at
* subscription time or later. This allows optimizations to deal with such
* single-element sources uniformly.
