Be warned that using variadic macros and _Generic means your code requires
at least C11, if not compiler-specific extensions. (Variadic macros are C99
or compiler-specific depending on the exact syntax you use, _Generic is C11,
availability when selecting an older C standard is compiler-dependent.) This
requirement ought to be documented in README.md.
