FWIW, I agree that having separation is useful -- I think these serve
orthogonal (but related) purposes: macros which can only be used by "user
code", and macros which cannot be redefined or undefined. I was thinking that
would be an additional pragma instead of a replacement for the two proposed.
I should probably tell you my use cases so we're both on the same page. One of
the most frustrating problems with trying to write a highly portable library is
the fact that I have to worry about users defining macros that may conflict
with my identifiers (like function names, structure names, template names,
etc), but I have no way to reserve those identifiers. I'm hopeful we can find a
way that I can "protect" those identifiers in a library with an extension that
basically says "you can't use these identifiers for macro purposes without
breaking me". I think that's a combination of `header_unsafe` and `final` -- I
don't want other libraries to start using macros with the names of my library's
functions if my header has been included somewhere, and I don't want user code
defining macros that may conflict with my library.
