Indeed there's seemingly no way (modulo pedantic) on GCC, while clang
has a plethora of -Wgnu options [1].
The one we need here is -Wgnu-statement-expression.
Although we should also add -Wmultistatement-macros - aka warn if
macro is not wrapped in do {} while (0)
Back on the patch in question - what's the consensus?
As-is, templates, another macro...
