7 * How do these macros work?
8 *
9 * In __COUNT_ARGS() _0 to _12 are just placeholders from the start
10 * in order to make sure _n is positioned over the correct number
11 * from 12 to 0 (depending on X, which is a variadic argument list).
12 * They serve no purpose other than occupying a position. Since each
13 * macro parameter must have a distinct identifier, those identifiers
14 * are as good as any.
15 *
16 * In COUNT_ARGS() we use actual integers, so __COUNT_ARGS() returns
17 * that as _n.
