Sure, multiple uses of arguments in C macros are an accident
waiting to happen. But declaring functions as inline is not an
option for the C89 Lua code base. So add a warning in the comments
and be done. The current lobject.h isn't particularly clean in
this regard, either (e.g. l_isfalse() or hvalue() etc. with
asserts enabled)
