I suppose there's a reason for these macros but I must recognize I don't get
it :-(

Actually I don't get the purpose of those macros either.  Anyway,
I'm pretty sure that those macros are there for none other than some
weird historical reasons.

Indeed, first there were the macros and later the proper inline methods
were introduced when increasing the row limit from 32k to 64k rows (CWS
rowlimit). Probably because back at those times it took ~2 hours to
recompile only Calc no one felt the urge to change everything at the end
;-)
