Agreed not for this release anyway but coming up with a common pattern would be useful. > AFAICT, strings optimize better than constant lookups.

A single error here could cost multiple users a lot of time.

I would assume that the compile removes stuff that is not referenced if not at compile time, then at runtime. So possibly the only cost is in the size of the classes and run time lookup od statics. Having static strings would reduce the size of the classes so it seems it may be a site vs runtime cost. I’m guessing that runtime cost is very small but again not done any tests to see if that is actually the case. Thanks, Justin
