OK. I can do that. How are you going to condition the value on an
architecture, though? Is your derivation going to look something like this?
derive MYVAR from (X86 ? "a" : (PPC ? "b" : (ARM ? "c" : "x")))
That would be workable but ugly, and increasingly fragile as the number
of architectures goes up. Can you imagine a better solution?

No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound
to enforce it.
