With respect to Comment #4: I see no reason for C++ to be different than C in
this respect, and thus I see no reason not to perform the computation at
compile-time.
In general, although some in the committees do not seem to care, users expect C
to be a subset of C++. Certainly, wherever the standards permit us to do so,
we should make GNU C and GNU C++ behave identically; compiling C code as C++
with the same toolset and getting different results leads to user surprise.
