Could get even fancier with something like:

#define strify_i(a) # a
#define strify(a) strify_i(a)

#define to_prop(a) __builtin_choose_expr( \
   __builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof(a), const char []), \
  (a), \
  __builtin_choose_expr( \
       __builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof(a), int) || \
       __builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof(a), double), \
       strify(a), \
       (int *)0))

It should be possible to use to_prop() for any property initializer.
