umm, lazy.  One is an lval and returns a value and the other does
neither.  Lack of parenthesization in the first version doubtless
exposes various horrors.

Care to do something more robust and conventional here?  Presumably use
symmetrical do{}while(0) things, neither of which is an lval, both of
which don't return anything.
