Hey, we can eliminate the currently needed (PetscObject) cast in a bunch of places with this horrible trick.

I thought you liked the explicitness of that cast.

That was my rationalization for ugly code; until a better solution appeared and I no longer needed the rationalization :-)

This actually doesn't introduce any more macros, its the same number with more reasonable naming.

Sure, it just uses #undef. I have no problem with changing it.
