The new bytecode format supports emitting strings a special case. This is
intended to save size (and does on small programs), but on big programs it
actually increases the size of the program slightly. The deal is that many
functions end up using the characters that the string contained, and the
characters are no longer in the global constant table, so they have to be
emitted in function specific constant pools.
This pessimization will be fixed in subsequent patches.
