This is a backward compatible macro to elide code in strings that should
not be.

* IIUC, this would only be usable in 3.6+ (so, not at all and style guide
says NO)
  * there should be a normal functional() way to accomplish this in a
backwards compatible way
  * formatlng() / lookup() would be more future compatible
