Obviously the right way to do this is the following:

	#define  cat(a,b)  a/**/b
	#define  (-:       cat(/,*)
	#define  :-)       cat(*,/)

Of course you might have to do it differently in ANSI C...

There are already enough pictographs here that I shouldn't need
to add another for the terminally humorless...
