Right.  And the easiest pattern for that is

sqInt foo;

foo
    <cmacro: '() GIV(foo)'>
    ^foo

foo: aFoo
    foo := aFoo

=>

sqInt foo;
#define foo() GIV(foo)
void foo(sqInt aFoo) { GIV(foo) = aFoo; }

e.g. memory in ObjectMemory and SpurObjectMemory in Cog.

This because the C preprocessor will fail to match a zero-argument marco
against a 1-argument use of that macro.  So

foo() => GIV(foo)
foo(bar) => foo(bar)
