Description

It would be nice if you could write

namespace MyProject { public const Quark MAGIC = "magic"; }

to get:

#define MY_PROJECT_MAGIC my_project_get_magic_quark();

and:

GQuark my_project_get_magic_quark (void) { static GQuark q;

if (!q) q = g_quark_from_static_string ("magic");

return q; }

Although my use case requires control over the precise string value of the quark, it would also be possibly nice to have something like this:

namespace MyProject { public const Quark MAGIC; }

as equivalent to

public const Quark MAGIC = "__ MyProject.MAGIC quark __";

or some other properly-namespaced gunk.
