Closing this.  I like the PyLong_IS_NEGATIVE and PyLong_IS_ZERO macros, but I 
can't find anywhere outside longobject.c where they'd actually be useful (with 
the possible exception of marshal.c, but that currently depends on knowing lots 
about the long implementation anyway).  And I don't really see much benefit 
from doing a mass replacement of uses of 'Py_SIZE(a) < 0', etc. in 
Objects/longobject.c;  I think it's the code is readable enough as it stands.
