Ouch.

/dev/null, /dev/tty, and /dev/console are all constant strings, right?  Living 
at standard defined places?

If you're saying we should have one instance of these strings to save space 
and can't trust compilers to get this right, fine.  But that's a larger 
problem, there's a a lot of strings like that.  Putting each one in its 
own .o file is _not_ a good solution here.

We need to work out some kind of mechanism for this, but having an 
individual .c file and individual .o file for each string is just...  Ick.
