One option might be to retain the current function solely as #defines, 
but make the *actual* functions strictly defined by their properties:

__crc16_1021_ffff()
__crc16_8408_ffff()
etc.

Update the documentation with a table derived from wikipedia and other 
sources that explicitly shows those parameters (e.g. Xmodem is one, 
"CCITT" is another, Xmega CRC / NVM hardware is *this* one, etc.) along 
with the "historical" name that's #defined in.
