Obviously this is bikeshed fodder, but given how big a help <sys/queue.h>
is programming-wise, and given that those four macros are comparatively
seldomly used, I will propose to remove this wart from <sys/queue.h>
under the banner of computer science in general and suffer the minor
backwards compatibility issues it will cause.

The backwards compatibility issues may be minor, but the
compatibility-with-other-BSDs issues aren't...
