Don't assume patches are self-explanatory.  The more information you provide,
the easier it will be for people to review your patch, particularly for those
of us who often end up looking at more than dozen patches every day.  And
(of course) the easier it is for us to review your patch, the more likely you
it will get properly reviewed in a timely fasion.

I'll note that other (non-ansi) pre-processors I've used didn't barf of this
code (yes, I tried them in an attempt to figure out why you made the change).
