Hmm.  Does this not cause problems when used with inline assembly in
gcc?  Obviously, correctly used, this won't result in a # at the
beginning of the line (since __asm__ takes arguments as strings, and
strings can't span multiple lines, even though this used to be common),
but don't the same sort of macro parameter errors occur?
