/*
* Here provide a series of helpers in the str_$TRUE_$FALSE format (you can
* also expand some helpers as needed), where $TRUE and $FALSE are their
* corresponding literal strings. These helpers can be used in the printing
* and also in other places where constant strings are required. Using these
* helpers offers the following benefits:
* 1) Reducing the hardcoding of strings, which makes the code more elegant
* through these simple literal-meaning helpers.
* 2) Unifying the output, which prevents the same string from being printed
* in various forms, such as enable/disable, enabled/disabled, en/dis.
* 3) Deduping by the linker, which results in a smaller binary file.
