How is the C preprocessor assumed to handle the ## concatenation operator?

In the Windows headers I found macros like
   #define foo(x) bar(##baz(x))
where an expansion into ... (baz ... doesn't make sense, because "(baz"
is not a valid preprocessor token. Can somebody explain the meaning and
handling of such constructs?

DoDi [I would guess that some macro between ( and ## expanded to
nothing.  Or it could just be one of those text editing errors. -John]
