From: "Carlos Myers" <dhstranger@HOTMAIL.COM> > Overall, I think there is need for a general clean up of the macros in > util.h. It may even be time to declare some the macros, such as > GET_OBJ_NUM(obj) and OBJWEAR_FLAGGED(obj, flag), as decrepit. As amusing as that last suggestion is, I believe the word you are searching for is "deprecated", not "decrepit". At any rate, the main reason so many redundant/outdated/unused macros exist is that one can never be sure whether individuals who code their own muds might be using them. C does not have a formal deprecation concept built in to the language (as Java and some others do), but I think deprecating some old macros is probably a worth the effort.
