Though I agree about the macros, I think this error would be made just
as often without them. (I should know since I believe I made the one
under discussion in this thread.) I think it's just one of the ragged
edges of C++ that people will forget the brackets. Yeah, it's rather
obvious ... once you look back at it. (BTW, I think it's not obvious
to a fair number of C++ programmers. Not obvious because they don't
know it.)
