It's a Microsoft Visual-C++ thing, it means the header should only be
opened and read once. It's effectively equivalent to include guards and
may speed up compiles as long as you know your code is and will always
be VC++ specific (it depends on other Microsoft-isms), or if you
don't care that your code will only compile efficiently with Visual C++.

I suppose you could use both, and get the MS speed tweak and
portability.
