If I'm understanding this correctly, what you call a literal value is a 
statically written and compiled string, which doesn't originate from a 
user given value, but was hardcoded at some point. If so, even if the 
primary use is of course for security concerns, the realty of what it 
does is not, it's mostly about how a certain variable was defined / 
assigned. How about is_static() or is_value_static() ? Or even 
is_statically_defined() ? There's many options in this path.
