Have you looked at the code? ceval.c uses this macro only in the slice processing code. I don't particularly care what it's called...

Yeah, I looked. I just don't want a misnamed macro to start being abused for some odd reason. Might as well rename it while we are thinking about it then let it have a bad name.
