You're reading the #define backwards. The purpose of this is to shorten
the name of all occurences of HText_dump to HTHTDump, presumably so it
can be handled by outdated linkers with extremely hard limits on symbol
size. Look at the file where this happens and you'll see what I mean.
Good idea to be cautious though. I should have more hard info on Tuesday
at some point.
