+/*
+ * Direct use of smalloc within the code should be avoided where
+ * possible, in favour of these type-casting macros which ensure
+ * you don't mistakenly allocate enough space for one sort of
+ * structure and assign it to a different sort of pointer.
+ *
+ * The nasty trick in sresize with sizeof arranges for the compiler,
+ * in passing, to type-check the expression ((type *)0 == (ptr)), i.e.
+ * to type-check that the input pointer is a pointer to the correct
+ * type. The construction sizeof(stuff) ? (b) : (b) looks like a
+ * violation of the first principle of safe macros, but in fact it's
+ * OK - although it _expands_ the macro parameter more than once, it
+ * only _evaluates_ it once, so it's still side-effect safe.
