One potential concern. I know of certain bits of code where strings
like "$Id: some text$" are "edited" in place to form version numbers
from $Id$ and similar strings.
The places I can think of actually occur in kernel code!
At least in the RCS/CVS world those values are filled in at checkout
from the source repository. I would be quite surprised to find any
meaningful use of expanding those at runtime rather than before a
build even starts. The compiler can and should treat them as static
strings because they are not altered at runtime.
