Even simpler, using ideas from
https://gustedt.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/detect-empty-macro-arguments/
(and actually tested this time):

#define ARG_8(_0, _1, _2, _3, _4, _5, _6, _7, ...) _7
#define HAS_COMMA(...) ARG_8(__VA_ARGS__, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0)
# define f(...) f_(f, HAS_COMMA(__VA_ARGS__), __VA_ARGS__)
# define f_(a, b, ...) f__(a, b, __VA_ARGS__)
# define f__(a, b, ...) a##b(__VA_ARGS__)
# define f0(x) printf("%s", x)
# define f1(x, ...) printf(x, __VA_ARGS__)

I'll work up a followup patch along these lines; it doesn't seem too
impossible to guarantee C99 portability for the four macros.
