I generally agree, but seeing how this is really an 'extension' of
existing infrastructure, I went along with this.

Type check macros, otherwise you break the naming scheme you so
adamantly push for (or end up with horrid stuff like
swait_wait_event()).

I suppose we can do the rename as you propose to avoid single letter
typoes, but it does bug me to have two nearly identical bits of infra
with such dissimilar names.
