Belated thanks to all who suggested ingenious macros!  I'm going with Gary's
as being the most readable (to my eyes).  Also thanks to those who explained
the status of ANSII C and "prior art".  I still think that binary constants 
are a good idea, but after following some of the other ANSII C discussions 
(e.g. noalias); I'm convinced that there's more hope for C++. (;-)
