Ah, yes.  My personal taste would be to write fsg_string_serial_fill_n 
as an inline routine instead of as a macro, and not try to make it 
separate from fsg_string_serial_fill.

I have only one objection to this patch: The new parameter's name 
should be "serial", not "serial_parm".  (Compare it to all the other 
parameter names.)

No comment on that one.

As for the discussion between you and David...  I haven't tried to 
follow the details very carefully.  I get the impression that the two 
of you are talking past each other instead of coming to grips with a 
genuine issue.
