What "C"?  Using undocumented (indeed, unintended) features present
in one particular implementation is not the same as using C the way
it was defined; programmers who stuck to the rules should not have
problems with the ANSI addition of a more carefully designed way to
achieve substitution "within" strings.  The ANSI approach is designed
to support reasonable implementations other than the Reiser CPP,
including token-based CPPs, several of which exist and cannot readily
be made to support Resierisms.

C != BSD
