Using 6.4 megabyte strings already makes symbolic debugging 
unpleasant.

The one thing that worries me about random strings is that it 
needs to be the same across all builds, or you'll get random 
linking errors when doing package-at-a-time or whatever (dmd 
already has some problems like this!). But building a gigantic 
string then compressing or hashing it still sucks... what we need 
is a O(1) solution that is still unique and repeatable.
