Yes, that would work. We could also just OR 0x8000 or something suitably large
to make them end up in a different range of values.

Either way, the fact that it is negative or has 0x8000 set could be used to
determine if it is a voice-only string.

Right, we can't have it that way. We need to have unique identifiers for each
voice string.

We could easily make them start at 0x1000 or so instead if that makes it less
intrusive on the existing code.

True. I'll go with that.
