Using a procedure instead of the record construction macro would make
the ABI stable (*).  ABI-wise, wouldn't a stable ABI (regular
procudure) be better than an unstable ABI?  There might be some
benefits for a macro concerning readability or such, but I don't see
any benefits ABI-wise.

(*) assuming no inlining.

Greetings,
Maxime.
