Yeah, but I think the people who came up with this new "feature" of C compilers sat around a table late one night drinking vodka and decided to implement the most useless and most difficult to rectify "feature" their evil brains could concoct. So I am not convinced there are portable macros which actually work everywhere. So we are probably wasting our time trying.
