Oh?

#define myFunc(x, y) ((sizeof(x) > sizeof(y)) ? ((x) + (y)) : ((x) * 
(y)))


Now we have what appears to be a function, but which is dependent on 
the data types of the arguments.  This is in plain, ordinary C.  Place 
this in a header file, and given only the body of a C program which 
uses it, we get the same level of confusion.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten 
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have 
everlasting life.
