The nr_ vs _nr is really confusing to read. Could you re-implement the
function as a static inline?
I'd really prefer to, but sadly not.
That requires untangling headers sufficiently so we can include
string.h, to be able to use memcpy. I don't have time at the moment to
sort that out.
Ok :(. We will have to live with the macro for the time being then.
