As 3/12 here notes we've been undergoing a sloooow migration away from functions that provide "the_index" for you since 2007, with the last major move away from some of them being in 2019.
The commit cited in 3/12 actually introduced most of these macros. What it did was remove the dependency on `the_index` from cache.c. Maybe I'm missing some context but I struggling to see the benefit in removing the macros with out removing the dependency on `the_index`. Doing that would require much more manual work as it cannot be automated with coccinelle but it would provide a tangible benefit which I don't see here.
