I wrestled with #defines vs functions and the #defines won because they
were cleaner without parameters in parens to cloud the reading of the
logic. I could go with local variables to assign these a value, but
they would be evaluated at the time of setting the local variable (which
would be fine for most of the variables involved) but also use local
stack space, though the compiler may be smart enough to optimize it
away. This was also why I quickly undefined them as soon as
practicable.

That is one of the few clean ones that doesn't need any other parameters
(such as "new" and "old" and the recently computed "root_uid").

Yup, this one was originally SUIDROOT which would have conflicted with SUID.
