Comment (by simonpj):

 Fair enough, but there are then three separate matters here

 1. Top-level unboxed string literals: #8472
 2. Disentangling `Addr#` and `String#` along the lines of comment:3 (this
 ticket)
 3. Some kind of support for `ByteArray#` literals, as you ask.

 Perhaps (2) and (3) are related, beause perhaps a `String#` can ''be'' a
 static `ByteArray#`?
