Uhm, the only reason these things were functions or macros in the
first place was to help the PIC compiler do its tricks. The proper
solution is to replace all references to _mul with a multiplication
sign. The lazy way is to create a macro so you don't have to edit the
code in a million places. Creating a function that just says "return
x*y;" because you want to avoid "helping the compiler" is an argument
that doesn't make sense.
