Okay... How should I deal with out of range values? Keep a cache of the form
{53: "Unknown Value: 53"} or just blindly return "Unknown Value" for everything
and make the person doing the debugging always include both the number and the
string in their printf formats?

It would be quite important to return a const gchar * unless you know of a
printf function that can be told to free strings that it's passed with capital
%S or something (That would be quite awesome actually. Maybe I should write it)
