thanks for your patch.

I think it would be better if the load/store macros would at least have
an OSMO_ name prefix in order to avoid namespace clashes with other
code.  I'd consider that mandatory for a merge.

As a matter of style, I would prefer to have proper inline functions
rather than hard to read multi-line macros.  I'd consider that optional,
as we could still increase readibility later on by either breaking the
macros into multi-line macros or inline functions at a later point
without breaking the API / uesers.

What you get from inline functions is better compiler warnings in case
of type mismatches on the input side.  Trying to understand compiler
warnings in complex macros is much harder.

Regards,
	Harald
