Yes, exactly. This will add some code complexity in what survives
the preprocessing stage (i.e. if you ignore the part that is disabled
by #if), but the source code file as a whole shouldn't suffer in
readability. And we'd have the advantages of both approaches --
efficiency for small strings, but no truncation for long ones.
