This is, in my opinion, the one correct way to explicitly and with
intent "use" an otherwise unused variable or parameter.
It is after all idiomatic C when used with more complex expressions,
such as function calls.
Here "arg" is a valid expression, and a "(void)" cast discards or
ignores the result of an expression.
The abstraction of __USE() seems unnecessary and more difficult to read.
