A project like WebKit that is currently aiming at wider code portability should
be very happy to accept a patch that reduce, not increase, its code dependencies
on a particular version of one specific compiler.
PS: my opinion is such macro definition is the typical kind of code that make
portability a nightmare, aka the exact contrary of the original objective of its
author.
