   If you really intend to be portable to any conceivable S5-compatible
   implementation, I suggest you use "m4" and/or "sed", since there's no
   *documented* way of gluing tokens together in pre-ANSI C.

I seem to remember the following from net.lang.c (alias info-c):

			#define ident(a)a
			#define glue(a,b)ident(a)b
			FOO
			glue(Hello,World)
			BAR

Is there anything wrong with this? Or is it merely of limited use?
