They are *not* necessarily distinct from other strings with equal
value, defined elsewhere. That's what has been pointed out to you many
times.
That point is completely irrelevant. The state objects only need to be
distinct from each other. How do I know? I originally wrote the example.
So, either you care about these values being distinct from all others
because you want to compare them with ‘is’ (and so strings are a poor
choice);
Strings are as good objects for the purpose as any and have some nice
advantages during troubleshooting and logging.

How many more times do you have to be shot down before you give up? Or
do you intend coming back like the Phoenix, or worse still like our
resident unicode expert, to haunt us?
