That way lies EVEN MORE madness. I don't have any guarantee that it
won't be changed at some point, and... I mean, silly though it sounds
to talk about "defined" or "undefined" when working on pseudo, it's
*really* not okay for non-implementation code to be defining a symbol
starting with a capital E like that.

I am not sure why the attr people hate compatibility with existing code,
but probably because they're monsters who are motivated only by a desire
to crush the hopes and dreams of others. That's usually why people make
backwards-incompatible header changes.
