Well, yes, if you're already familiar with them! I find it very
hard to believe that any who wasn't familiar with these [ bugs |
features ] wouldn't be very surprised to run across them and have
a hard time understanding them. Nor can I believe that either is
easier to use or implement, although I will grant you that using
# and ## is pretty disgusting.
"What?!? The preprocessor looks INSIDE STRINGS? But it doesn't
replace macros inside strings. Oh, just parameters? Huh."
"What?!? The preprocessor makes comments completely disappear?
But I thought that comments were supposed to be the same as
blanks! You mean that if I stick a comment in without putting
spaces around it the things on each side get pasted together?
Ick!"
