Quite clever trick, but I see two issues:

- gcc < 8.1 treats expressions with string indices (ex. "abc"[0]) as 
non-constant expressions, so they cannot be used everywhere, for example 
in global variable initializations,

- it does not work with hex (0x1) or octal values (01)

It is probably OK for private macro, but it can hurt in kconfig.h, 
especially the 2nd issue
