As part of #67792, #[derive_const] is the current way to indicate that a derive should be impl const Trait rather than impl Trait. However, this only works for built-in macros. It should be possible for end-user proc macros to know if they were invoked with #[derive_const], permitting the derive to emit the appropriate code.
In my opinion, this could be an opaque type provided as an additional parameter to the derive implementation. That type would have methods to obtain constness and any other future extension (i.e. effects).
