Yep, here's another dirty trick :
#include 
#define SPECIAL (whatever)
     #define IS_SPECIAL BOOST_PP_IS_UNARY
IS_SPECIAL(a)         // 0
     IS_SPECIAL(b)         // 0
     IS_SPECIAL(SPECIAL)   // 1
It isn't entirely portable to older preprocessors (that's why this code 
lives in preprocessor/detail) but should work with latest versions of 
the widely-used compilers.
This also works:

#include 
#include 

#define SPECIAL
#define IS_SPECIAL(x) BOOST_PP_IS_EMPTY(BOOST_PP_EMPTY() x)
