Dear Magnus,

you might comment that such a #define is dangerous in itself, but why not protet against it? with a number we are sure we don't need parens, but with a macro we'd should rather play safe.
Should we really start protection against such things?
No. We should not start doing this. We should have been doing this from the beginning. Defensive programming is a simple but efficient tool to help producing high quality software.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
