I was inclined to say "yes" initially. But having thought about it a
little more, I think there are the following reasons against it:

(1) this looks bit too much like a #define in 'C' for my taste, a poor
man's macro language

(2) it may be difficult to deal well with both string contexts and code contexts

(3) could there be problems with confusing a user defined (\&) operator?

(4) Q already has a good way to deal with such constants
