Ensure at build time the feature(s) used for the alternative blocks are in
range of the featureset.

No functional change intended, as all current usages are correct.

Please use STR() from macros.h.  It's shorter, and we're trying to
retire the use of __stringify().

Happy to fix on commit.  Reviewed-by: Andrew Cooper

I'm struggling with what this is meant to guard against. All validly usable
constants are within range. Any unsuitable constant can of course have any
value, yet you'd then refuse only those which are out of bounds.

It's IMO better than nothing, and it's a build-time check.

Thanks, Roger.

Oh, yes, indeed.  I just copied from the surrounding context and
forgot about STR().
