I submitted a bug report to Next maybe a year and a half ago about
this.  I haven't tried it again lately, but I doubt if it's fixed.  The
real issue, I think, is that no one wants to mess with the preprocessor
because it's not ObjC-specific.

The workaround is to surround your NSString constructor with
parentheses.  The preprocessor treats parenthesized expressions as
indivisible chunks, but not expressions surrounded by square brackets.
