-Control-flow expressions are not allowed inside a const context.
+A control-flow expression was used inside a const context.
 
-At the moment, `if` and `match`, as well as the looping constructs `for`,
-`while`, and `loop`, are forbidden inside a `const`, `static`, or `const fn`.

 This will be allowed at some point in the future, but the implementation is not
 yet complete. See the tracking issue for [conditionals] or [loops] in a const
 context for the current status.
