Maybe we could use macros that are a no-op under CPP, and serve only as
guides for a non-CPP code transformation tool. That is to say, instead
of the horrible
bset_directory (b, current_buffer ? BVAR (current_buffer, directory) : Qnil);
we could have the slightly less horrible
BVAR (b->directory) = current_buffer ? BVAR (current_buffer->directory) : Qnil;
with BVAR a no-op under CPP:
#define BVAR(x) x
The GC branch wouldn't be able to use CPP to convert this to the desired
form, but I think there would be enough information for a non-CPP tool
or a script to automatically transform all snippets of the form
BVAR (x->y) = z
to
set_buffer_y (x, z)
