Two different questions.
If you:
#define d 5
printf("%d", 3);
the d won't be replaced. That is, in preprocessor terms, a very
different question from:
#define S(d) printf("%d", d)
The person writing a macro with arguments has full control over
the names, and can choose them to match or not. This allows for:
#define debug(x) printf("x=%d\n", x)
ANSI added the stringizing operation, and then removed the
replacement inside strings.
While not explicitely stated in K&R1, it is the normal case
for non-ANSI preprocessors.
