I've thought all along that PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY was making
unwarranted assumptions about what the underlying syntax would be,
and it seems I was right.  Anyone want to look into what it'd take
to change this?

(It might be an idea to introduce a new macro with a slightly
different name, so we don't have to touch every usage site
right away.)
