Just wondering how "unreadable" the resulting code becomes with
all those new macros ....

Rather than defining all the individual BUF_xxxx(buf) macros 
for each field buf->xxxx field, would it be possible to factor
this out in a single accessor macro like

      B_(buf, XXXX)

If necessary, behind the scenes (by help of the proprocessor),
this could further map into a BUF_xxxx(buf) macro, but I don't
know what kind of mapping the BUF_XXXX macros are supposed to
do, so I cannot say whether it is possible or not...
