 %D is more efficient but it probably won't be noticed. It's anyway cheaper on memory
 %D access. We use versions that don't even store the arguments.

-%D When comparing arguments with a constant, we can get into trouble when this
-%D argument consists of tricky expandable commands. One solution for this is
-%D converting the argument to a string of unexpandable characters. To make
-%D comparison possible, we have to convert the constant too.

-%D This construction is only needed when the first argument can give troubles.
-%D Misuse can slow down processing.
