Do you prefer assert(0) instead of assert(false)? Is it not worth
to put a message after the 0/false? (static assert(0, "foo
missing"); )
I can send a pull request with the values filled-in for Windows
and OS X.

that is not
capitalized?
Because "linux" is what gcc predefines for Linux. (gcc also
sets __gnu_linux, __linux__, and __linux, none of which are
capitalized. It's the Linux way, not some nefarious plot of
mine to disparage it.)
Haha :-) I understand, my remark was lighthearted. Still, it
seems a bit inconsistent and error prone, given the other
identifiers. I mean, I'm all in favor of using "darwin" for OS X
(more technically correct, and allows your code to compile in a
pure Darwin environment), but if you changed it to "OSX" because
it was more discoverable then... that's the kind of usability
issue I'm talking about.
BTW, does that mean that gcc also defines capitalized "OSX",
"Posix", etc.? (otherwise I don't understand your argument)
