These patches look good. I'm pushing them out to the -next build.

I think there's an argument for both ways of doing it. I'm sure I had my
reasons for automatically adding the newline back when I implemented
those macros. (They probably should be inline functions, but that's
another issue.)

Yeah, these patches are the obvious improvement, without changing
anything from a design standpoint.
