Can you find out who made the suggestion? Let's first reach consensus
about how we want to do these things in the future.

My opinion is that we should not have macros like these in any platform
specific code: If the macros are a good idea, we should define them
globally and let everyone use the same macros. If we decide not to have
them in global code, it would be even worse to have them in specific
platforms.
