You're absolutely right, but typeof(var) is being derived from count in
the first place, and it makes me a little nervous to then re-derive it
the other way. *shrug* No particular reason for it.

You could probably keep count all the way through and do something like:

#define _mjh_OUT(v, count) { u_int ## count ## _t _dummy = (v); \
memcpy(..., count / 8);

if you pass it in as bits. TMTOWTDI. Not sure if it makes a great deal
of difference in practical terms, to be honest. The macro is only called
from the lines directly below it.

It probably would, yes.
