I think this way of writing is vulnerable to confusing errors if a
missing or extra backslash happens, so I would prefer the #define to be
outside the variable declaration.

Yeah, I can't say that I disagree with you. Of course, having the
#define's outside of the declaration makes the whole thing a little more
verbose, which isn't a huge deal.

I think it's the same verbosity - you just need to move the lines?

But I was mirroring what Ævar was doing in the sub-thread he started at:

Unless you feel strongly, I think that what we have isn't so bad here.

Yeah I don't feel that strongly about it.
