And if the parser is well written the optimisation is probably
irrelevant compared to the compile time.

OTOH that probably requires using mmap(), memchr('\n') to look
for line starts, a fast search for '[ ]*#' followed by else/endif
and a final horrid backwards check for a continuation line.

That optimisation will generally speed up header file processing.
