Maybe if the #define was "IS" instead of "is"? Easier to recognize as a
define.


Yeah, if it was "IS_EQUAL_TO" or something, sure. But making it just "is" so that its easy ... that's just so ... ewww. Come on, you can't tell me this is 'good' advice.

I think this is the best reason not to do it with an inexperienced team
of programmers, because defines "defang" the compiler and its warnings.


Yes, exactly.

On the other hand, if I saw that in code it would take me all of 5
minutes to figure it out the first time, and after that it would be
cake. I switch between Perl, PHP, Java, JavaScript, Obj-C, C, and C++
so frequently in my daily life that picking up new symbols and mapping
them in my brain is hardly difficult anymore.


Yeah, okay.
