Then that macro needs adjustment. Especially considering it's in a
public header: It's full of name space violations.

The macro-local variable gets too long for my taste, to be honest,
and it being improperly named anyway suggests it simply wants a
trailing underscore added. And then, since for a variable named "r"
the risk of shadowing is equally high, that one wants to gain a
trailing underscore as well imo. (And while at it, I personally
would also drop the leading underscores from the macro parameter
names. Furthermore I think it would be nice if at on the lines
touched anyway indentation was also corrected. Overall maybe best
if I submit a patch.)
