optimizer in function

Does the optimizer look into function called from query?

In my queries the expression (SELECT hwyl FROM Stock) / (SELECT regularPayment FROM Stock), where Stock is a one-record table, often is repeated. The optimizer sees that, and makes the ratio a constant, and I can afford to be clear. If that expression were within a function called from the same spot, would the optimizer look into the function and see the same effectiv constant? or is it better to make it an argument to the function?

I think the only clues the optimizer consults with regard to UDFs is the
'characteristic' provided at the time you create the routine.

from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-procedure.html

*characteristic*:
COMMENT '*string*'
| LANGUAGE SQL
| [NOT] DETERMINISTIC
