Aren't they all false positives, since the macros involved are g'teed
not to evaluate their arguments more than once as written (because
__builtin_constant_p always evaluates at compile time)?  Do we really
want to churn our source code to eliminate false positives from some
tool that appears to still be in its alpha-testing state?
