This is a synthetic example which might not have a real-world application.]
Well, it is not relevant / equivalent to any of the four symbols that caused the
warnings that this thread is about, at least.

The expression means: 'A' can be enabled on all platforms. Except on
platform_X, there it can only be enabled if helper_N is built too.

No. I meant "(X && N_ON_X) || Any_one_platform_other_than_X" above.
