I mean, not specifically in the #define, but anywhere.

(I don't try to patch preprocessor directives with spatch, I use sed for that.)

A trailing colon in a #define leads to code like this:

    {
        X(1)
        X(2)
        ...
    }

... which of course does not parse.  It would be better to use a do {
... } while (0), or better yet an inline function.  But unfortunately
the above style is very common.
