Some variant of
#define VARSIZE(x) (ntohl((x)->vl_len) & 0x3fffffff)
#define VARSIZE(x) ((x)->vl_len >> 2)
The 1-or-4-byte version is a lot harder, but also will be used in a lot
fewer places, all of which will get looked at when it gets installed.
I'm prepared to put up with multiple eval for that. I *don't* want to
assume that existing code can tolerate multiple eval in a macro that has
existed forever and never did it before.
