Well, you'll end up with having macros and functions for each of these,
while they all do the same thing. Consider GST_STATE (element) vs.
gst_element_get_state (element) and so on.

I prefer macros, but I suppose it doesn't matter. I know Benjamin
prefers functions because that gives more flexibility. I don't mind
having both, but that sort of defeats the point of having the function.
