Yes, I understand that.
To put the data into a comment means some magic has to happen to parse
source text to get at the value.
To put the data into a literal means I simply call the method to get
the value.
What's the downside of having it as a literal?
I know the downside of having it as a comment: far more mechanism, and thus,
more fragile code and maintenance.
