Even though the intent of GRINs is to be permanent until freed, I suggest
you don't literally hardcode them into your applications.  Instead, look
them up from some table of "constants" at runtime.  That way if something
forces you to get another RIN number for some reason (BTDT) you can easily
change the reference to it everywhere.
