Discussion
Karl Williamson [24]reminded (Adding macros to public hdrs, in particular
strEQs and strNEs) us of the importance of guarding new macros/functions,
proper naming, and documentation in the code.
Dave Mitchell [25]requests (documentation for *foo{GLOB}) help finding an
example usage of *foo{GLOB} in order to improve its documentation.
