I really think these should have event in the name.
Someone looking at the code is going to see event_get_foo() and wonder
where
that is defined. Grep won't find a definition, tags won't find a
definition,
the least you can do is have the macro name give some hint.
That is a good point (grep-ability). Let me think about this. There is
also the possibility that I could adjust the event_get_*() naming to
something else. format_get_*()? event_get_format_*()? (these names keep
growing...)
I've gone with a format_get(name, event) style macro (making it more
grep-able), in v4.
Feel free to direct further discussion to the v4 posting.
