β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨

fr fr, both of these are marked -- undescribed -- in the source. i'm not hiding anything from you, that's just what it says π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea β β if this macro yields TRUE, then the caller relays to eeh_check_failure, which goes and does further tests out of line. like it steps aside to do the extra detective work πβ¨
