+/* Utility macro to construct an unique (within a file) variable name for iterator macro.
+ * Use indirect macro evaluation to ensure the `__LINE__` is expanded (rather than being
+ * treated as a name token),
+ *
+ * The `__LINE__` is defined at the invocation of the `SEQ_ITERATOR_FOREACH` and is not changed
+ * afterwards. This makes it safe to expand it several times in the `SEQ_ITERATOR_FOREACH`.
+ *
+ * This allows to have nested foreach loops.
