Feature-request: split the strings.xml for in-device and settings related strings

In most of the apps I've seen most of the strings are used for settings, still those strings are included in the memory footprint of the app. It would be very useful to split strings.xml to device-strings.xml and settings-strings.xml.

    Each module scope variable takes 16 bytes in the data segment

    I misremembered this. It's actually only 8 bytes. The symbol is stored in 3 bytes, there's a flag byte (indicating data type amongst other things), and then 4 bytes for the value (which in this case is just a Number). So presumably the resource table uses 16 bytes per string. I guess it needs address, length, id, and something else?
