Yeh. What if you really *did* want to talk about your "Crayon-line
drawing routines"?
More seriously though, I don't see why there shouldn't be one, but rather
than make coders go through and lint-markup every place where we really
meant to concat two strings in a macro (one of which has only just been
en-quoted), maybe the warning should just default to "off"?
cheers,
