Re: [HACKERS] Proposal: generic WAL compression

Oleg,

I'm not really sure why this is still in Needs Review as a review was
posted and I don't see any follow-up. I've changed this to be Waiting
for Author.

Thanks for the review Antonin!

I'm not really a fan of using these, for my 2c. I'm not sure how others
feel, but having these macros which change one of the arguments to the
macro (by advancing the pointer) doesn't result in a net improvement to
readability for me.

The other review comments also seem pretty reasonable to me.

Thanks!
