Hm. We have a few header files that are similarly macro-generated (and
sometimes the macro code is behind ...) but I also thought we had this
generalized with variadic arguments. Maybe not.

Maybe we can carry that over now that C++11 is the minimum standard for R ?

I have been mulling an idea regarding a top-level header file choice also
signaling minimal language standards opening the door a little to C++14,
C++17, C++20, ... . I should open an issue ticket one of these days.
