What's so inelegant about it?

Please upgrade your bad pun detector. :)

Thanks for the hint. After upgrading it works properly :)

I'm not sure about that... There are few languages that would allow so perverse an idea to be more elegant (Forth, Lisp and Smalltalk being notable exceptions of course).
And I use "perverse" purely in the good sense of the word. :)

Perhaps PL/I should be added to the list: in this language, macros are PL/I snippets, executed during compile time, that produce a block of code, which is incorporated into the main code and compiled.

I third this. My first reaction was raised eyebrows and a whistle of admiration. C is a wondrous language that too many people disparage from ignorance.

+2 for use of obscure definition of "wondrous". Agree that more people should disparage C from familiarity.

"Underscores" indeed. That was AWFUL. Next time, warn us so we can brace ourselves.

I'm not sure I see the point of your paranthetical aside.

OK, you two have neatly bracketed my pun. I think it's line to put a line
through this now.

I think that the Bill Clinton reference, referring to the question of whether he'd had sex with Monicia Lewinsky "It depends upon what your definition of 'is' is" is actually funner.
(I will now go flog myself for the triple usage of "to be" in the third person singular.)

Dunno, looks a lot like Python to me...
Oh yeah, that's one of the things I dislike about Python.
