While that's true, for this particular set of codes the strings should
just be compiled in.

(1) most of time one runs into them unexpectedly, so unless the module
is loaded by default (in which case, the plumbing becomes bloat) the
strings won't be available most of the time they're wanted.

(2) they're not at all large.
