If you look at CCL's code you will see that the macros are used for 
generic containers that will expand the WHOLE container code into a library

Suppose you have a "FOO" data type. The list macros will expand into
iFOOAdd, iFOOApply, etc for the whole list container code, so the 
generated code is always the full implementation of the list container. 
If you put that in a library, the linker will pull in only the functions 
you need.
