I was thinking of things like:

   #define some_iterator_macro(var, arg1, arg2) ...

   void some_function (int y, int z)
   {
     some_iterator_macro (x, y + 3, z)
       {
         do_something_with (x);
       }
   }

That sort of macro usage is fairly common, and looks vaguely like an
ANSI C function declaration (no?).
