For example, a protected code has to be surrounded by
PROTECTION_START(level) ... PROTECTION_END() macros, where 'level' is a good
candidate for being random at compile time. In general, this feature is very
useful for many code obfuscation mechanisms. This is similar to __COUNTER__,
though not everybody use __COUNTER__ but it doesn't make it useless.

Thanks.

While this is interesting, I'm not sure
when I would ever need such a feature.
