Yes indeed the compiler will certainly drop anything at the end, but still
I'd have to fill with local vars definitions all the related functions just
to be able to make them more readable while I can improve the readability
also by just adding a pair descriptive defines to use all over.

I'll send a V2 and then you tell if it is fine for you.
