I'm not fond of these macros. If we're going to doing anything to them,
I'd rather just get rid of the entirely (including the PROC macro) and
write out the initialization of nlmsvc_procedures. Yes, it'd probably
add another 80 or so lines to the file, but it'd be readable without
referring to the macro definitions. And it would be less confusing to
people who grep for the users of the various proc/encode/decode methods
and can't find them.
