It has nothing to do with NeXT, GNU CC, or Objective-C.  The ANSI C
standard specifies that the preprocessor distinguishes arguments to
function-like macros based on them being separated by `,', skipping
intervening matched pairs of left and right _parentheses_.  C suffers the
same problem with a multi-dimensional array reference as a macro argument,
as in `a[i, j]' though in this case there is an easier work-around, being
`a[i][j]'.  --Tiggr

The advantage of using an unknown programming language is that
you don't have to answer questions on how it compares to Java.
