hmmm ... but even with variadic, C's macro facility is so weak that
I'm not sure we can reimplement these with it.  What would the
expansion look like?

(It constantly annoys me that C's so weak here.  In the language
I used for my first for-pay programming work, Bliss/11, the macro
facility could have done that easily.  That was 45 years ago.)
