How about it be made into a real function instead? I was reading
through the patch, but got timed out yesterday, so take this with a
grain of salt.
I thought I saw a couple of macros defined to use this macro yet
again. Which I figured might be a problem is the passed in variables
get munged.
In any case, why does something so complicated need to be a macro, why
not a function instead?
