/* Concatenate at most 20 strings and return a uniqstr.  The goal of
   this macro is to make the caller's code a little more succinct
   without a trivial uniqstr_vsprintf format string to maintain
   (for example, "%s%s%s") while still benefitting from gcc's type
   checking.  Unfortunately, because of the missing format string in the
   macro invocation, the argument number reported by gcc for a bad
   argument type is 1 too large.  */
