But it also creates the need to write a separate stub function somewhere
else, while we could have a ready-to-use stub function automatically by
simply #ifdefing the whole function body. But anyway: this won't matter
if we choose the duplicate/fake #defines approach mentioned below.

I believe this would be even better. I will try that in the next version
of this series.
