It seems to work fine on 10.5 and 10.6 (except for subscripting). As
far as I can tell, literals are just converted into ObjC method calls
that exist on 10.5 – I guess what I'm asking is if you expect literals
to be compiled into something else soonish (say, within the next
year). If you plan to support 10.7 and the 10.7 ObjC runtime doesn't
support "compiled literals" already, that's probably not the case?

(What I really want to know if we can use this in chromium, which is
still compiled for 10.5 :-) )

Thanks,
Nico
