/**
 * <p>
 *   This function (macro) is a GNUstep extensions, and it is used
 *   to localize static strings.  Here is an example of a static
 *   string:
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   <code>
 *     NSString *message = @"Hi there";
 *     ... some code ...
 *     NSLog (message);
 *  </code>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   This string can not be localized using the standard
 *   openstep functions/macros.  By using this gnustep extension,
 *   you can localize it as follows:
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   <code>
 *     NSString *message = GSLocalizedStaticString (@"Hi there",
 *       @"Greeting");
 * 
 *     ... some code ...
 * 
 *     NSLog (NSLocalizedString (message, @""));
 *  </code>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   When the tools generate the
 *   <code>Localizable.strings</code> file from the source
 *   code, they will ignore the <code>NSLocalizedString</code>
 *   call while they will extract the string (and the comment)
 *   to localize from the <code>GSLocalizedStaticString</code>
 *   call.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   When the code is compiled, instead, the
 *   <code>GSLocalizedStaticString</code> call is ignored (discarded,
 *   it is a macro which simply expands to <code>key</code>), while
 *   the <code>NSLocalizedString</code> will actually look up the
 *   string for translation in the <code>Localizable.strings</code>
 *   file.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   Please note that there is currently no macro/function to
 *   localize static strings using different tables.  If you
 *   need that functionality, you have either to prepare the
 *   localization tables by hand, or to rewrite your code in
 *   such a way as not to use static strings.
