We _could_ - indeed I started doing that, but then decided that the 
obfuscation of horrible macro-templated functions wasn't worth saving a 
couple of hundred bytes in some code that isn't exactly difficult to 
maintain and has needed touching once in 4 years.

If you did want to go down the macro route, I may as well also generate 
both lo-hi and hi-lo headers all from a single template, it'd be really 
clever... <alarm bells> ;)
