+// #[cfg] attributes in exported macros are interesting!
+//
+// The #[cfg] conditions in a macro's expansion are evaluated using the
+// configuration options (features, target architecture and os, etc.) in force
+// where the macro is *used*, not where it is *defined*. That is, if crate A
+// defines a macro like this:
+//
+//     #[macro_export]
+//     macro_rules! if_bleep {
+//         { } => {
+//             #[cfg(feature = "bleep")]
+//             bleep();
+//         }
+//     }
+//
+// and then crate B uses it like this:
+//
+//     fn f() {
+//         if_bleep! { }
+//     }
+//
+// then it is crate B's `"bleep"` feature, not crate A's, that determines
+// whether the macro expands to a function call or an empty statement. The
+// entire configuration predicate is evaluated in the use's context, not the
+// definition's.
+//
+// Since `wgpu-core` selects back ends using features, we need to make sure the
+// arms of the `gfx_select!` macro are pruned according to `wgpu-core`'s
+// features, not those of whatever crate happens to be using `gfx_select!`. This
+// means we can't use `#[cfg]` attributes in `gfx_select!`s definition itself.
+// Instead, for each backend, `gfx_select!` must use a macro whose definition is
+// selected by `#[cfg]` in `wgpu-core`. The configuration predicate is still
+// evaluated when the macro is used; we've just moved the `#[cfg]` into a macro
+// used by `wgpu-core` itself.
+
+/// Define an exported macro named `$public` that expands to a call if the
+/// configuration predicate `$condition` is true, or to a panic otherwise.
+///
+/// Because of odd technical limitations on exporting macros expanded by other
+/// macros, you must supply both a public-facing name for the macro and a
+/// private name, which is never used outside this macro. For details:
