In C, the preprocessor is logically before the compiler, so, as far as
I understand, there is no problem using any C reserved word as a macro
name, as long as you don't need the word.

I know C++ isn't C, but this one surprises me.

Still, if you aren't using the "or" operator, a quick pass through sed
should be able to fix it.
