hm, could that be simplified?

These could be made static.

There's a risk that the compiler will go and assemble these arrays on
the stack each time this function is called. gcc (some versions, at
least) will actually internally turn these into static arrays
(assembled at compile time) but it's best to do this explicitly.

Please don't do this. People occasionally grep the tree for instances
of 'EFOO' which are missing the "-" sign, which is a useful service.
The above trick just makes things harder for them.
