Ack, I'm ok with this simplification.

I'm ok with this one too.

No. Don't do this.
I'm ok with the #define to avoid duplication, but don't bother with
the FIT_IN() after you've above successfully argued that it's
pointless for anything but f_bsize/frsize.
So if you do the macro to generate the different copyout versions,
just use your simplified code for that macro instead. With FIT_IN()
just for f_bsize/frsize.
