But still, wouldn't it be nice and enhance clarity to be able to use a
different character/token between GET and FIELD_DECL than between FIELD and
DECL?
(Anyway, I still think we should start by just redefining GET_FIELD_DECL et.
al. as C++ inline functions - or macros that invoke C++ inline functions, or
whatever else that works better for whatever reason, regardless of the
implementation details - and let the existing code continue to use them in
exactly the same way as before.)
