It's horrible syntax (no surprise), and being a templated 
function means it's recompiled N times... but there's at least 
something for it now.

(Of note is that it's how you're expected to handle string 
literals at compile time with constexp, but it doesn't make 
string manipulation at compile time any easier. Go figure.)
