If this is only for OF, we should rename the function to something including
*of* as well.

I would like it if you manage to break the dependency to OF though.

Is it really advisible to put big static constant arrays into header
files like this?

This will end up with a copy in each file where it is included and it is not a
small thing that gets replicated all over the place either.

What about just add it as extern and exporting the symbol if you
need it elsewhere?
