+ * VA_ARGS_NARGS
+ * Returns the number of macro arguments it is passed.
+ *
+ * An empty argument still counts as an argument, so effectively, this is
+ * "one more than the number of commas in the argument list".
+ *
+ * This works for up to 63 arguments. Internally, VA_ARGS_NARGS_() is passed
+ * 64+N arguments, and the C99 standard only requires macros to allow up to
+ * 127 arguments, so we can't portably go higher. The implementation is
+ * pretty trivial: VA_ARGS_NARGS_() returns its 64th argument, and we set up
+ * the call so that that is the appropriate one of the list of constants.
+ * This idea is due to Laurent Deniau.
