ah yes, but ... just about any reasonable compiler will do something
smart with this: if (0) { ...} or if (1) { ... }.

If fact, romcc would not work at all without these types of
optimizations ... and this one is not even that aggressive.

So, since:
if (preprocessor_symbol == whatever) { ... }

is equivalent to either
if (0) {...}
or
if (1) {...}

I think it is safe to say there is no loss in code reduction.

What Pike et. al are really saying is "don't have cpp do something
that the C compiler can do better and with more error checking".

With which I agree.

The reason I care? Because we've had dead code for several years in
that fragment Ronald discovered, and that could have been avoided.
Scary!
