Hi,

Recently I've decided to migrate function_name!() to const and I've discovered that depending on if variable is const or let I get different results from type_name

#![feature(const_type_name)]

const fn type_name_of<T>(_: &T) -> &'static str {
    std::any::type_name::<T>()
}

fn main() {
    const A: &str = {
        fn f() {}
        type_name_of(&f)
    };
    let b: &str = {
        fn f() {}
        type_name_of(&f)
    };
    
    println!("A: {}. B: {}", A, b)
}

A: playground::main::A::f. B: playground::main::f

Is it something expected or should I create a bug for it?
