If a comma were permitted after the last parameter declaration, you
could just write:
some_function(10 /* param1 */,
20 /* param2 */,
#if 0
30 /* param3 */,
#endif
);
C99 changed the syntax to permit a trailing comma in an enum
declaration. It would have made sense to permit a trailling
comma for *any* comma-separated list. (Probably not for the comma
operator, though.)
