ConstantBase has a constructor that takes a value of any type as an input: template ConstantBase(const T &). A derived type Constant is a member of many Expr classes (as an alternative in the member variant).
When trying (erroneously) to create Expr from a wrong input, if the specific instance of Expr contains Constant, it's that constructor that will be instantiated, leading to cryptic and unexpected errors.
Eliminate the constructor from overload for invalid input values to help produce more meaningful diagnostics.
