A data point I'd like to have is how many "real world" projects are 
enforcing no_keywords, at the moment?

Are we going to make life more awkward for everyone, with a marginal 
gain (stop polluting the preprocessor with lowercase macros), or _de 
facto_ any big project already disables the macros anyhow?
