A long time ago back when it was still being
maintained by James Clark. I did not notice
anything about it then that was especially
annoying or difficult. Just ran right out of the
box so I used it.
It took me a day or two to get it to work, despite it working perfectly well
across the street at the other division. Ended up being a difference in our
makefiles- we had include once turned on, which broke the clever macro
trick.

He,he ... all you guys wanna use C++ eh. My little
Monte Carlo Simulator has some pretty evil macros.
Using templates to do what we have done for decades
before C++ often seems like a very small improvement
at high cost.
Hey-- I'm originally a C guy myself. I like C. Using macros like that is
still confusing. Yes, you *can* do it, but its probably better to find
another way. Like using void*.
