I deleted it again. It is at the moment not important, because all the
functions that use the macro do not care if the end is before the
beginning. So it is not really important at the moment. But I like to
make robust code, and when in the future the macro is used where it is a
problem when the start is after the end ... So is it possible to switch
the values when the end is before the start?
