I already tried to do operations on strings at compile time but without 
success.
Using some template, and good optimisation flag, the compiler can optimize the 
hash computation of small strings, but once the string has a reasonable size, 
its not optimized.

My objective was to keep strings simple to type., ie.  STR("Some String")  and 
not
STR<'S', STR<'o', STR<'m', STR<'e' STR<' ', STR<'S', STR<'t', STR<'r', 
STR<'i', STR<'n', STR<'g'> > > > > > > > > > > >
