Well in a way it is a big advantage that it all has to be
compilable. it is only too common to encouter a large C
file, full of conditional stuff based on say ten different
condition settings, and you just know that no one has
systematically done all 1024 compilations, and sure enough
you try a new combination, and the thing does not even compile,
let alone work.
