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.
Best Wishes
Phillip
