so are you basing your patch on his work?

really?  I haven't seen much of a consensus for the string-literals 
instead of constants approach, especially not from experienced extension 
writers.  personally, I think it's butt-ugly, a lot more error-prone 
than any alternative, and I also doubt that it'll save much space in 
practice.  it also ignores history; the Xt developers tried the same 
thing, and ended up adding #define's for all their string literals to 
get a least a little help from the compiler...
