Subject: Question about strings of string_choices.h

Hi Kees, Andy

I would like to use string_choices helper, and want to add well used
but not yet supported strings. But before that I would like to ask one
thing about it.

I wonder is it guaranteed that the strings were persist after the
function returned ? In normally, function local variable will disappear
when it returns from the function. But I'm not sure in case of
static inline const, etc.

If it is guaranteed, I'm very happy.

Thank you for your help !!

Best regards
