Well, I think it's really cool. However, not being much of a PP
metaprogrammer, I'd really like to see some more comments in the code you
posted so I can understand how it works.

It looks like you are applying an extra level of indirection (i.e. macro
invocation) to get the library to adjust its recursion level automatically.
Is there a performance penalty?

Also, in what way are you using the preprocessor's own limitations against
it?
