Technically true of course, and it would work with an empty file. But practically speaking without `undef` it's not clear to me how you can actually include multiple times a file to do anything useful?

TableGen is not C, and lucky for us... It's pretty rare that people actually want the C preprocessor in a language! Not a model of design in general...

I don't quite get what you mean about relevance considering what I wrote above.

(I didn't understand this sentence)
