AFAICS there is no issue, and the code is fine as-is.

Modifying the "get" functions as you propose would be harmless, but it's
also not an improvement, since it would result in redundant code in the
functions when those macros aren't defined.

I don't see any real advantage in making the set and get functions
look slightly more alike. They're doing different things.
