Oh, I see. Of course I'm making remarks when what's in the tree is
bad (as per e.g. coding style, or if not mentioned there than in my
personal opinion). As a result I take note of you thinking this being
bad practice, and the two of us disagreeing. I'm certainly willing to
adjust non-obvious code to a more obvious shape in various cases,
but I think there needs to be a limit as to what language features
we decide should not be used in the code base. Overriding
declarations (and in some cases even definitions) by macros is a
useful thing for general readability in certain cases in my opinion,
and while it's not making much of difference here I'd still prefer if
I was allowed to get away with this, unless a majority supports
your view. IOW - your change request is, as per my own
perspective, making the code less easy to read, even if not by
much.

Jan
