I just meant put the lines next to each-other. We definitely shouldn't
merge the lines together or it'll make it more painful to change the
list of files later.

That sounds extremely brittle. Have you validated this on a wide variety
of compiler versions?

That's the intent right now, but who knows what else might end up
getting added there. It seems simplest just to maintain the ifdefs since
they're already there.
