Which defined facilities are those?  They aren't available in the
cpp here.  How does one write an ANSI macro X(a,b,C) that appends
"a" to macro A and "b" to macro "B and "a b" to macro C?

(Actually what would also be nice is a way of incrementing a symbol
from within a macro.  It would be useful for generating unique
labels and such things.)
