> If you are working with constants in Thrift and happen to write a string without quotes, the compiler will warn you about using unquoted strings, but it's not an error. This can lead to some confusing debugging if you actually mistyped an enum value's constant or the like. 
> I propose that rather than having such a thing as an "unquoted string", we just check if it's a constant, and if not error out. It seems like it would decrease the potential complexities without really sacrificing any functionality.
