I find that most abuses of the preprocessor are by folks unwilling/unable to simplify their design into a form that's (a) native to the C language/runtime or (b) not repetitive to type.

This library on the other hand addresses a nasty papercut whose presence usually stops folks with modern language experience from choosing C when it might otherwise be valid. Plus you can't beat C's long-term stability.

Though I agree that 90+% who _think_ they still need C should probably move on to making Rust work for them, instead.
