Actually, I think it does.  The standard specifies that the macro call
is semantically equivalent to its expansion.  This does not permit the
argument expressions - if they are indeed expressions, which they
aren't always - to be evaluated before the expansion calls for it.
(Unless the "as if" rule permits it anyway, as always.)
