Right, so one has to be careful when adding new suffix constants. However given that we already have all the likely to be used ones for the near future, that isn't exactly a big issue. On the other hand forcing the use of the macros makes it less likely that someone specifies an unsupported constant by hitting 'y' instead of 't' or similar. Jes
