Exactly and that's how it should be done. Through the code. C is the language to do that. Magic tag is an extra language hack that people need to learn, remember, teach others, etc. We've introduced __arg_ctx and so far the only adopters were the programs where Andrii added it by himself. Anyone reading it has no idea what __arg* do. It's all magic. While C has clear meaning.
