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.
