Yeah, either your usage is fine or the syntax-check rule should be
improve to catch it. Jirka?
Yeah, the syntax check is quite simple so it doesn't catch all possible
cases and libvirt-pot-check run after libvirt-pot (either in our CI or
manually) will detect all cases.

Well, not really. The tool is not a C preprocessor so it doesn't have
any idea what a specific macro you concatenate with an actual string is.
So the best thing to do here is to avoid the situation and do what you
came up with here:
