Cause I worry that someone's going to end up comparing string literals
to each other under some conversion like

-#define FOO rtl::OUString(..."foo"...)

+#define BAR "bar"

if (FOO == BAR)

You could solve that with some tainting.
So you have a boolean flag inside an OUString that says "I was created
from a literal".
Then you check in the equality operator if the other side also has the
flag, and if so, complain loudly.

 if( "foo" == "foo" ) does not involve OUString at all, it is a mere pointer 
comparsion, and in this specific case it is undefined if the comparison 
evaluates to true or false (depends on string literal duplicates merging). 
Which is why this would be a problem, but compilers warn about this.
