+/*
+ * BIRD Macro Tricks
+ *
+ * (c) 2018 Jan Maria Matejka <mq@jmq.cz>
+ *
+ * Can be freely distributed and used under the terms of the GNU GPL.
+ *
+ * Contains useful but dirty macro tricks:
+ * MACRO_CONCAT(a, b) -> concatenates a##b
+ * MACRO_BOOL(x) -> convert 0 to 0, anything else to 1
+ * MACRO_IFELSE(b)(true-branch)(false-branch)
+ * -> b shall be 0 or 1; expands to the appropriate branch
+ * MACRO_ISEMPTY(...) -> 1 for empty argument list, 0 otherwise
+ * MACRO_FOREACH(func, ...)
+ * -> calling FOREACH(func, a, b, c, d) expands to
+ * func(a) func(b) func(c) func(d)
+ * MACRO_RPACK(func, terminator, ...)
+ * -> packs the list into recursive calls:
+ * func(func(func(func(terminator, a), b), c), d)
