The repercussions are that any of your compiler or library headers are
completely free to have things like this in them:

  #define __celltype blorch[

This namespace does not belong to you, but to the implementors. 

(Since C doesn't have namespaces, we have to draw these borders within the
identifiers themselves.)

Even if you haven no clash now with __celltype, you could have one tomorrow,
when you include some header that you did not previously include, port your
program to a different system, or upgrade (or downgrade) to a different version
of the compiler or any of your libraries, etc.
