Consider the following sample program:

  #define junk #include <garbage.h>
  junk

Does my preprocessor have to include <garbage.h>?


Note that this is different from the situation mentioned in the
standard.  For the following sample program:

  #define junk2(arg) arg
  junk2(#include <garbage.h>)

the standard says that the behavior is undefined.
