Yes, I know, C's macro processor can do almost anything. (I've sometimes 
wondered what that language would look like if you took out everything that 
could instead be implemented, now matter how awkwardly, with a macro.)

But, having to extend the language yourself doesn't count! Anyway having to 
write CONCAT2(123,456) is only marginally more useful than just writing 
123*1000+456, which at least is universal.
