<font color="#000000">P = Parser.  The reason for the _P is just to avoid conflicts with</font>
<font color="#000000">other definitions of the macro name, either in our own code or various</font>
<font color="#000000">platforms' header files.  We haven't been totally consistent about it,</font>
<font color="#000000">but roughly speaking we've stuck _P on when it was either known or</font>

<font color="#000000">Some years ago there was discussion of consistently P-ifying *all* those</font>
