+  How this works (you don't have to understand it to be able to use the

+  in a struct of width 0. All the rest are just the hacks to minimize the
+  possibility of the compiler warnings when compiling this macro: in
+  particular, this is why we define a struct and not an object (which would
+  result in a warning about unused variable) and a named struct (otherwise we'd
+  get a warning about an unnamed struct not used to define an object!).
