  I think a number of people, myself included, were looking for
something specific to the macro at hand. Any macro which evaluates
arguments more than once must be used with caution, but then so must
malloc and free, and most of us don't label each use as unsafe.

  I confess that I assumed the object of the warning was a bit more subtle.
