+ * Detecting too many arguments is a little trickier. With a valid argument

+ * With a prefix of 0.0, it expands to e.g. 0.04. If there are too many
+ * arguments, it expands to the first argument over the limit. If this
+ * exceeding argument is a number, the assertion will fail as there is no
+ * number than can simultaneously be both > 10 and == 0. If the exceeding
+ * argument is not a number, a compile-time error should still occur due to
