permanent interned strings, which will be predominantly (or entirely?) non-literal. At least it doesn't look to me like names of internal functions/classes/etc are considered literal. I think this may be problematic, in that now the permanent non-literal interned string in the function/class tables will be different from the per-request literal interned string used by user code to reference it.

Just wondering, if this is a major performance problem, is there a compelling reason why the internal names couldn't be marked literal (even if it's technically "wrong")? It seems unlikely to get a function or class name accidentally in a SQL query and even less likely that user input was involved. -- Lauri Kenttä
