I don't know  - but I know that I dislike it *very much*. Your 3rd point is 
IMHO even a worse one because it is not only about typing but about having 
developers to type more ifdefs/defines, that is train them to use them all over 
the place, very ugly indeed!

BTW what says Apple to this, will they change to "#include" then as well 
(guessing that they will upgrade to gcc 3.x anytime in the midterm future as 
well)?
