+# This is a pretty brute-force approach. It takes several hours to run on a top-spec MacbookAir.
+# It also produces some false positives, so it requires careful examination and testing of the results.
+#
+# Algorithm Summary:
+#   First we find all #defines,
+#   then we search for each of them in turn,
+#   and if we find only one instance of a #define, we print it out.
+#
+# Algorithm Detail:
+# (1) find #defines, excluding the externals folder
+# (2) extract just the constant name from the search results
+# (3) trim blank lines
+# (4) sort the results, mostly so I have an idea how far along the process is
+# (5) for each result:
+#   (6) grep for the constant
+#   (7) use awk to to check if only one match for a given constant was found
+#   (8) if so, generate a sed command to remove the #define
+#
