Actually } gets macro'ed several times.  ENDLOOP, ENDWHILE, END,
UNTIL... Bleah.  Also WHILE BEGIN REPEAT... The old FORTRAN logical
operators even get defined, much to my horror.

Everything you need to turn sweet concise C into some crawling horror
mismash of BASIC and Pascal.

That, Sir, is preprocessor abuse. ;-)
