Would naming it something like LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL instead make
sense?  That way, if some other compiler gains a different syntax for
the same annotation, it would be possible to do

	#if defined(__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ >= 4
	# define LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL __attribute__((sentinel))
	#elif defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER > 27
	# define LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL __declspec(lastargnull)
	#else
	# define LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL
	#endif
