 Meaning, I am repeating myself over and over again. I think, by now I made
 clear enough, what this is about.

 You can safely drop the 'if'.

 I did not present the bug in order to set off another round in symptom
 hunting and curing. I wanted to prove by evidence that not adhering to
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_contract has its decent downsides.
 IMHO either fixing 1 serving macro or hundreds of invocations is in order.

 I am certain you have good reason to address this issue in a different
 manner, but as far as I am concerned, I am out of business.
