//  - Make it work if num_args > 26.
//  - Remove empty literal string arguments.
//  - Collapse consecutive literal string arguments into one (remove the ,).
//  - Replace StrCat(a + b)  ->  StrCat(a, b)  if a or b are strings.
//  - Make it work in macros if the outer and inner StrCats are both in the
//    argument.
