Ok, once RB optimizes my chr() calls, it will again place "ABC" in the application, but currently it is not optimized this way.
In case anyone doesn't understand the implications of this comment, Christian is theorising that a straight Chr(65) might be optimised into a string constant in RB in future.
If you have an integer value calculated by something more complicated, I'm certain it will never be optimised away in such a revealing manner, if optimised at all.
BTW I was the person talking about a general source obfuscator a few weeks ago but there doesn't seem to be much interest. The initial motivation was the revealing of the fact that the RB encryption has been trivially broken recently so offers little protection if you are selling encrypted classes.
