 I think we just document __extension__ as only applying to non-CPP issues;
 we can't reasonably expect CPP to interact with a parser in all situations
 and under all future code changes.  I imagine we could enhance existing
 code so that we don't have this problem in cases where it is the C front
 end requesting the number interpretation, since it could easily pass a
 "don't warn about foo" flag to cpplib.  However expecting cpplib to get
 it right for #if is not reasonable, seeing as #if can occur between any
 two tokens.
