Poking around to count remaining uses of those inline functions, I found a few places that should be using the macros instead, and fixed them. After that, I notice that list_tail(), list_third_cell(), and list_fourth_cell() are entirely unreferenced. I'm hesitant to get rid of list_tail(), because it seems like it could well be used by extensions. But I'd bet quite a bit that list_third_cell() and list_fourth_cell() are not used anywhere anymore. Should we get rid of them to shave a few microseconds from compile times?
