Another problem, which I haven't seen mentioned in this thread, is that
when you see C code which does FVAR (x, y) the natural assumption is
that x and y are C variables.  So these macros hurt code readability.

The introduction of BVAR also violated this principle, and I'm not eager
to see the problem compounded.

I think FSET/WSET/PSET/PGET/etc should be removed from the trunk, at
least for now.  I recommend moving the generational GC work to a branch.
