No, please do NOT do that !

There are many useful macros (and constants ?)
defined in those include files, but some of
them are in my opinion less useful. And some
have names that I find misleading.

So if someone choose to make a set of macros/
constants of their own that happen to have the
same name, then I think it could be very con-
fusing if some of those are coloured differently.
