This patch removes convention of passing a static string as a
parameter to another static string.  The convention is intended to
reduce text usage by sharing the common bits of the string, but the
implementation is inherently fragile (a change to one format string
but not the other will nullify any possible advantage), it isn't
necessarily a net win depending on what this compiler does, and it
it reduces code readability.
