Right, I know.  I was referring to the example you gave. I've
also asked you for the listings that you've supposedly collected
on those things so we can make a better informed decision.

But, regardless, is it not so that there are various grades of
change here?

a - do nothing
b - keep heuristic but only for macros, delete for everything else.
c - delete heuristic entirely

But I think there are at least some situations where 'b' is preferrable.

So I'd like to have 'b' please. A compromise.  We could add those
debug specs to the def _functions_ like your example. Whoever
these functions are and however many there are. Again, it'd be
great to have the data. Some data.
