[VM/lib] Merge constants and builtin's?

Do we really - really - need another "constant" type? I doubt it whether it makes any serious performance difference, with the only exception being constants like true, false, etc.

But then, it also over-complicates documentation generation for constants.

So, we should either make documentation possible for constants as well, or merge the two things into one concept
