It was... That particular preprocessor game largely became 
unnecessary once we gained C11 anonymous structs and unions.  
Which is a good thing, as it can occasionally induce some nasty 
effects.

I've not had to use it in newly designed things since then. I've 
only had to use it when interacting with old code.
