💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the <iso646.h> header defines eleven alternative spellings for standard operators. Eleven. Not ten, not twelve — eleven, periodt. Here's the whole lineup, bestie:

1. and — &&
2. and_eq — &=
3. bitand — &
4. bitor — |
5. compl — ~
6. not — !
7. not_eq — ≠
8. or — ||
9. or_eq — |=
10. xor — ^
11. xor_eq — ^=

Each macro expands to the corresponding token — that's the tea. ✨

None. Literally none. The rationale is a void, and honestly? main character energy. 💀
