What I'm getting at is, enums have no storage. You can't take the
address of an enum (wheras you /can/ take the address of
const-declared things). The impact of that is obvious, for primitive
types like ints, but string is not a primitive type - it is an
aggregate; an array.

So the question I'm asking is, do the actual bytes of the array
consume runtime storage space? It's not completely obvious to me that
the answer would be yes.
