The following construct is incompatible with my autoksyms series:

Here \name is an assembler macro argument and it is not subject to 
preprocessor substitutions.  And the assembler doesn't see preprocessor 
macros either.

So I'd suggest folding the following patch to let the preprocessor see 
the actual symbol name. It doesn't make the source code as compact but 
it works with my series.
