Is there any benefit, performance or otherwise, of using Str.defVal over "" in Fantom code?

I don't think it really matters one way or the other in HotSpot since everything will get inlined. String literals are interned on a per pod basis and then inserted directly into bytecode as a constant. The Str.defVal will be a static field access which will get inlined by HotSpot.

Cool. I find I'm using Str.defVal more and more, just to break up the hyrogliphics in the code!

I prefer the
""form not only because is shorter but mainly because its value is obvious whereas withStr.defValone need to check the documentation.
