What is your motivation of this change?  Does this patch suggest that 
we'd better use marcro rather than local variables?  I understand most 
of it, but ...

Isn't a common programming practise?  I don't object to this patch, but 
want to know why do we do this change?

b.t.w, looks your mailer wrap your patch incorrectly.
