Like I said, I'm not the one you have to convince.  I would like to
see more built-in macros providing information to the user/program
about the compilation environment, but I don't get to make that call.
The gcc@gcc.gnu.org list is down the hall and to the left; they may listen
longer if you provide a patch (gcc/c-common.c is where those macros lived
the last time I looked).

I would therefore like to posit that computing's central challenge, viz. "How
not to make a mess of it," has /not/ been met.
