The first commit is just a refactoring to store static parameters as lattice elements instead of their (hopefully constant) values.
The second commit improves type information for static parameters that come from
::Type{T}, where we didn't know thatTmust be a Type. This is very useful for functions likezerosthat sometimes take a type argument. Motivated by wanting to get better type info from examining fewer methods.
