NAK,

Some compiler back needs to generate the actual storage for the
anonymous string. Even though sparse front end is not using it now.
Another role of sparse other than checker is a C front end for other back
ends.

This is introduced at a12d4528ffc4e66b14519d739806f0eb793f72cf

    Marking anonymous string.

    The back end need to generate some storage for anonymous string.
    This simplify testing of anonymous string.
