Yeah, we discussed that at the time and thought it was acceptable
collateral damage. It's not like nobody ever breaks API in new major
versions.

Huh? The order in which you #define macros doesn't affect expansion.
We could make this work more conveniently on compilers supporting
__VA_ARGS__, though. That's certainly good enough in HEAD, and
probably good enough for most people in 11.
