The multiple-evaluation hazard seems like an issue.  We've tolerated
such hazards in the past, but mostly just because we weren't relying
on static inlines being available, so there wasn't a good way around
it.

Also, the conditional evaluation here would look rather ugly
in a macro, I think, if indeed you could do it at all without
provoking compiler warnings.
