Ahh yes... I hadn't considered that. Using the inline function as we
have it today would allow someone to make a mistake and end up passing a
const string into a non-const usage. This will take some more thought,
since the macro version didn't do what we wanted and we can't overload
since this is C and not C++ :-)
