Very nice development work.
It's almost always fruitful to go digging around in these macros to understand
the basic principles, since it reveals what's going on in some of the more
"black box" macros of the include files, and highlights some of the assumptions
that are being made.

We could probably use a lot more digging and redesigning of macros to update our
collection - and possibly spot some holes where we need to write new ones.
Good work,
and keep doing what you're doing. :)
