Don't be so VH :-) There are far too many useless macros

These are not useless. It means you can just change the header instead of
all of your source code if your definition of how to access bar changes.
Its just OO encapsulation/abstraction in C.
I whish we rewritte XEmacs in C++ someday.
I think it then might be Eighty Megs and Constantly Swapping instead of
Eighteen...
