Does blitzmax optimize inline strings?

If I were to define ten globals initialised with "hello world", would blitzmax optimize this and only store "hello world" string once as a constant?

I ask because if blitzmax doesn't do this I will optimize all my strings initialisations into constants.

Yes, it does.

You can verify this by looking at the assembly output (the .s file in the automatically-generated .bmx folder).
