+ * Getting something that works in C and CPP for an arg that may or may
+ * not be defined is tricky.  Here, if we have "#define CONFIG_BOOGER 1"
+ * we match on the placeholder define, insert the "0," for arg1 and generate
+ * the triplet (0, 1, 0).  Then the last step cherry picks the 2nd arg (a one).
+ * When CONFIG_BOOGER is not defined, we generate a (... 1, 0) pair, and when
+ * the last step cherry picks the 2nd arg, we get a zero.
