Interesting. Ok, but if a string maps to an integer it means that I can only
pass 4 characters at once on a 32bit platform??? I just looked over your
tests and did not get immediately that these all use char test sequences.

I used a slightly different approach in my previous use case.

template<char const* Str>
string
{...};

extern const char some_string[] ={"abcd efg..."};

typedef string<some_string>          my_string_type;

Would be cool to find a solution of really passing strings like:

typedef string<"abcd efg..">     some_other_type;
