+ * A state transition function alters the global #if processing state

+ * functions increase or decrease the depth. They also maintain the
+ * ignore state on a stack. In some complicated cases they have to
+ * alter the preprocessor directive, as follows.
+ *
+ * When we have processed a group that starts off with a known-false
+ * #if/#elif sequence (which has therefore been deleted) followed by a
+ * #elif that we don't understand and therefore must keep, we edit the
+ * latter into a #if to keep the nesting correct.
+ *
+ * When we find a true #elif in a group, the following block will
+ * always be kept and the rest of the sequence after the next #elif or
+ * #else will be discarded. We edit the #elif into a #else and the
+ * following directive to #endif since this has the desired behaviour.
+ *
+ * "Dodgy" directives are split across multiple lines, the most common
+ * example being a multi-line comment hanging off the right of the
+ * directive. We can handle them correctly only if there is no change
+ * from printing to dropping (or vice versa) caused by that directive.
+ * If the directive is the first of a group we have a choice between
+ * failing with an error, or passing it through unchanged instead of
+ * evaluating it. The latter is not the default to avoid questions from
+ * users about unifdef unexpectedly leaving behind preprocessor directives.
