  I appreciate the suggestion, but, as you say, it's not portable. Worse
than that, it doesn't work on either of the ANSI-filed compilers I
tried. Because of the way the macro is called I can't trust any editor
to change the code without breaking it, so I did the globals by hand.
The true solution would be a character analogy of #arg.
