Actually we are using ?b2l/?l2b and some other macros to make the code shorter and ease our development. All these macros are in the main include file couch_db.hrl used everywhere in the code.
Since this include will be likely used in CouchDB plugins created by users, I would like to have these kind of macros separated in their own include file. Something common in C world. The main reason is to not pollute namesspacing in external plugins and let them import only what they need, ie couchdb types/records. What do you think about it? Also, not related but maybe it could be a good practice to enforce the use of these macros in all the couchdb codebase like suggest filippe. Any thoughts ? - benoît
