Hello Alan,
Thanks for the response, I'm really glad I asked first before trying to
hack up something on my own.

I tried c-macro-expand and it works well for macros defined within the
current file, and even for the standard stuff like __TIMESTAMP__. But
it doesn't work, for instance for HAVE_PWD_H in editfns.c. Do you know
if it could work? Is it just a matter of passing some include path to
the preprocessor call?

It appears that `hide-ifdefs' hides them unconditionally.

The functions exist, sure. But for most users they are invisible /
unknown unless they are bound in a keymap. `c-mode-map' is pretty
visible and would be a great way to promote these features.
