Most of all we want to get rid of address constants in code.  For
_values_ that are written to some register, my personal preference is
not so strong, alas if you _do_ use macros, usually already the macro
name carries documentation as to what this is and it will make code
reuse easier for the people having to maintain or build upon your code
in the future.

Cheers
