I haven't *actually* tried that, but it certainly looks as though it would
work.

A minor snag with it is that I'd have to convert all my strings into UTF-8
sequences, which is a bit awkward and makes it hard to easily edit the
values in the source code. (No doubt I'd write a little tool to do this and
just paste the results in to the source code).

Since my strings are all quite short and I'm going to be using them to
construct longer strings (I'm converting values from some character
encodings not supported by Apple), I'll probably use arrays of unichars and
munge them into strings (+initWithCharacters:length:) when required.
