+    Helpers for defining macros that expand into a single statement.
+
+    The standatd solution is to use "do { ... } while (0)" statement but MSVC
+    generates a C4127 "condition expression is constant" warning for it so we
+    use something which is just complicated enough to not be recognized as a
+    constant but still simple enough to be optimized away.
+
+    Another solution would be to use __pragma() to temporarily disable C4127.
+
+    Notice that wxASSERT_ARG_TYPE in wx/strvargarg.h relies on these macros
+    creating some kind of a loop because it uses "break".
