Heh, I think you miss my meaning.  Of course this patch must be merged
before any users.  I just want to hold off merging it until I see
viable patches on the mailing list which depend on it.

In other words, write your patches which use it and submit the lot as
a patch series with this patch as the first.  That gives some evidence
that this macro will actually be used and useful.
