I doubt it actually is.
And in addition one of the general design goals of Squid-3 is to get things object oriented. Macros is lagely the opposite.
On my todo there is an item to get rid of the fd_table entirely, turning "file descriptor" into a class allowing native I/O implementations.
Even on UNIX there is subtle differences beetween the different classes of I/O handles, even more so as time passes and new interesting I/O or event mechanisms gets available.
The fd_table is a at large remaint from the original harwst cached select loop, and not the perfect design.
