--- Comment #12 from Jacob Lifshay <programmerjake at gmail.com> ---
since there's only one string for now, just translate it to an integer and put
a FIXME in the translation code, or something similar.

we can figure the rest out later as part of another bug.

I'm marking this bug deferred, Luke and Dimitry, please just drop it for now.
you can go through why you think it is or isn't a bug later, when we come back
to it.

note for later when we come back to it:
when we add function support, strings are much more commonly used and are part
of the pseudocode in the specification (e.g. Appendix A.1 where it uses the
string "+ zero" as the value assigned to FPSCR.FPRF), so, then, supporting one
more string is much less additional work.
