Attempting to remove a widely-used macro in a single patch within our
distributed development model was, frankly, short-sighted to the point
of stupidity.  I've had enough of dealing with stuff like this.  If
Stephen wants to take it on then fine.

guess I'm forced to continue to take out the garbage.  Sigh.
