I am not sure what the best approach is. I wanted to solve the problem at hand in a efficient way, so I picked a very specific solution. Maybe the more general solution using macroexpand is better because it also solves other problems, but I still can not see what problems it solves. None of the string macros I know return strings, so I do not think there is much to gain.
