But, you didn't add any comments or update the patch description. So, if a reviewer or anybody looking at the changelog in the future has my same stupid questions, they're unlikely to find the very nice description that you wrote up. I'd highly suggest that you go back through the comments you've received before and make sure that you both answered the questions, *and* made sure to cover those questions either in the code or in the patch descriptions. Could you also describe the lengths to which you've gone to try and keep this macro from growing in to any larger of an abomination. Is it truly _impossible_ to turn this in to a normal function? Or will it simply be a larger amount of work that you can do right now?
