While it certainly makes the code smaller, I don't find it easier to
read, nor do I think it's less error-prone.  I think it's actually more
error prone, as it's difficult to read what the code is actually doing.
The problem is that this translation to macros makes the code
cryptic.  I'd almost compare it to using macros for the sake of using
macros, not for any legitimate benefit.
