Scary, it's as if the preprocessor has become type-aware. I guess I better don't imagine the result of the preprocessing to look similar to and following the same rules as something I would have written by hand. This might make manual inspection of the preprocessed file a bit painful.
Its not really a pre-processor stage. Probably better to think of it more like a pointer cast to some binary blob. Though it'd be interesting to see what `gcc -E` would produce.
