I'm not a big fan of this patch. Treating arguments differently just
makes the macros harder to read, imo. Why not keep the parantheses
around all arguments? It doesn't hurt and keeps the style consistent.
Besides, lvalues might consist of more complex expressions, so I'm not
sure this is even the right way to go.

Thanks
