I wonder if we could keep the representation as-is, but add an "is transparent" 
bit on `PredefinedExpr` that's set for string literal predefined expressions 
under `-fms-extensions`, and make `IgnoreParens` step over transparent 
`PredefinedExpr`s. That seems like it'd exactly match the MS behavior, which 
seems to allow (eg) `__func__` to appear anywhere a //parenthesized// string 
literal can appear.
