 FWIW I'm personally still sceptical about the merits of this replacement.
Formally speaking, there are no macros any more, of course, but I'm not
sure if the goal of making the code simpler to understand and maintain was
achieved by removing them. I'm probably not 100% objective here but it
seems to me that macros were simpler than the new type-list based code (but
using type lists is the only alternative for implementing a type-safe
interface to these classes).
