You can with C++. But I guess, as you and others have said, just using
#define is probably best and simplest. I didn't know about what you said
above about CFSTR in 10.2 with gcc 3 (thank you for informing me), so that
settles my qualms about using a macro.

Just the same reason as defining any constant, I just have a particular
name that I will use more than once.
