For string constants you’ll usually want to mark them as `static 
immutable`. Strings with this combination will usually be put 
into read-only sections (ROM) of the resulting binaries.

Unlike `static immutable` which specifies that data exists once 
in a specific location, `enum` (“compile-time constant”) is more 
similar to copy & paste where the compiler inserts the value into 
each location where it is referred to.
