I agree that we don't have to (and probably shouldn't) make the required
configure changes and change definitions.  But I do think some of the
current macro usage deserves to be cleaned up at some point. I,
somewhere during 9.4 or 9.5, redefined some of the larger macros into
static inlines and it both reduced the binary size and gave minor
performance benefits.
