I was trying to follow "be liberal in what you accept as input and conservative 
in what you generate as output" maxim.  I can remove the `CR` as a line ending 
case if you think it's too obscure.

In the latest diff, I added a test case to make it clear that even if you 
`#undef` a macro later in the file, it invalidates all the surrounding macros 
in the cluster containing the undef'ed macro.

I'm open to suggestions for code bases on which to run this.  Since this was 
motivated by my modernization of the fractint code base, I will run it on an 
old version of the code from my repo before I had manually converted the 
defines to enums.

LLVM isn't a good test case here, because LLVM doesn't use macros as enums `:)`

For this scenario (a macro that is later undef'ed), I don't believe I will emit 
any false positives.
