Comment:

 I've made a new branch based on the old one.  It removes the uppercasing
 commits.  It also adds a new pair of commits that change tor_free() and
 object_free() so that they can withstand usage like `tor_free(ptr++);`.

 The branch is now `macro_free_v2`.  The only new commits are
 d6549f0d1d68e09d260968af95016218ae16072d and
 534e6094fc5336785105deeaacd487e9e79ebbab (and the revised changes file).
