+/* Macros to do string compares.
+
+   NOTE: cagney/2000-03-14:
+
+   While old code can continue to refer to these macros, new code is
+   probably better off using strcmp() directly vis: ``strcmp() == 0''
+   and ``strcmp() != 0''.
+
+   This is because modern compilers can directly inline strcmp()
+   making the original justification for these macros - avoid function
+   call overhead by pre-testing the first characters
+   (``*X==*Y?...:0'') - redundant.
+
+   ``Even if [...] testing the first character does have a modest
+   performance improvement, I'd rather that whenever a performance
+   issue is found that we spend the effort on algorithmic
+   optimizations than micro-optimizing.'' J.T. */
