explaining some C macro magic
// so a cool trick with macros in C (and C++) is that since macros inside of
// macros are stille evaluated by the preprocessor, you can use macro names as
// parameters to other macros (and even construct macro names out of out of
// parameters!) - so using this trick if we have some macro like
// this:
#include <stddef.h>
#define MY_TYPES_ITER(_F, ...) \
_F(FOO, foo, 0, __VA_ARGS__) \
