Make paradigm into a macro
These macros use
(x) | 0
to get a compiler error if x is a pointer rather than a value. This was
instituted because there was confusion in them as to what they were
called with.
But the purpose of the paradigm wasn't obvious to even some experts; it
was documented in every file in which it was used, but not at every
occurrence. And, not every compiler can cope with them, it turns out.
Making the paradigm into a macro, which this commit does, makes the uses
self-documenting, albeit at the expense of cluttering up the macro
definition somewhat; and allows the mechanism to be turned off if
necessary for some compilers. Since it will be enabled for the majority
of compilers, the potential bugs will be caught anyway.
