I understand, you're right, but relying on something that's only internally established
isn't a compatibility promise we need to uphold (please note that all identifiers that
begin with either an underscore or a double underscore followed by an uppercase
letter are considered reserved per §6.4.2.1).  It doesn't break any compatibility, and
in this case, and similar ones if they come up, we've only changed what we had
internally decided to use so far, and hence I don't think it's a POLA violation.

I understand the importance of taking care of ports, but I fear it may, in such cases,
cause us to adopt unnecessary complications.  That said, I'd like us to wait a little
longer and discuss this further.  If we all agree on restoring the macro, then we will
do so.

Cheers,
Faraz
