   I'm mildly curious if it ignores the string or sticks it some place in   
   memory just in case. It's a different situation but in C   
      
   /* this customer is a jerk! */   
   log("this customer is a complete idiot!");   
      
   if you run strings on the executable the customer will find out you think
