Hi Paul,

does this solution lead to symbols that can't be found with
simple search tools?  a quick skim made me think it doesn't, but
wanted to check.  i.e., will i find a reference to, say, MARK_FOO
in the code that i can't grep for, because it was constructed with
    name ## _FOO
or something like that?

There's MARK_SWITCHES that's defined and never used directly.  But then
it's indirectly used immediately afterwards by the next two paragraphs.
The code that uses the array, e.g. `switches', uses the same identifier
as is passed to DEFINE_SWITCH_ARRAY() so there's a match for `grep -rw'
or similar there.  The enumerates are being specified in full;  although
they have a common `SW' suffix in the mark.c example I didn't think the
saving/obsfucation a good trade-off.

Cheers, Ralph.
