Proposal: ValidateMonoLiterals - Initial bikeshed discussion

[Carl Eyeinsky]

Hi *

for what it's worth, I really like the idea. Its purpose is clear, it's
easy to use, it's straightforward to understand, and it seems there are
only benefits that come with it.

I at least would be an immediate user, as it gives a compile-time fence to
custom hard-coded stuff. E.g. it is sometimes simpler and nicer to put
something in a string literal rather than an explicit AST.

(Just my 2 cents -- I'm not a TH expert.)
