VLC_UNUSED works but it essentially NIH syndrome. It takes more space 
than the standard solutions:
- (void) cast, or
- in C++-only, anonymous parameter.

VLC_CLIP and the underlying __MIN and __MAX are bad because they are 
not expansion-safe. Furthermore __MIN and __MAX violate the namespace 
rules.
