Yup.  Fooled me too.  In fact, now I find a whole raft of preprocessor
limits limits scattered around 2.2.4.1:
line  3, nesting of #if's;
line  8, length of macro name;
line 12, number of macro names;
lines 15 to 16, numbers of macro parameters and arguments (which seems
           redundant, since arguments must always match parameters);
line 20, nesting of #included files.
I'd say this table represents an example of spaghetti code :-)

If this were the company's opinion, I wouldn't be allowed to post it.
Pardon me?  Or do I have to commit a crime first?
