However, if the current code works that that is fine. We can always change
it later.
The main reason for ''not'' making it a macro is that there is currently
no reason why it should be a macro. Between macros and inline functions,
I much prefer inline functions. So I only use macros when they are really
needed.
Let me state again that I'm not against Juanjo's suggestion, it's just
that I don't really know how the ECL signal handling works. The code
which is currently on this ticket makes few assumptions on the inner
workings of the ECL signal handler. The more we start "interfering" with
the ECL signal handler, the more important it becomes to really understand
what is going on.
