Thank you.

Stylistically it is compatible with the existing:
MASK(MCI_STATUS_OVER|MCI_UC_SAR|0xfff0, MCI_UC_S|0x00c0)
and
MASK(MCI_STATUS_OVER|MCI_UC_SAR|MCACOD, MCI_UC_S|0x017a)

... but that's just a sign that they need some love too :-)

I'll see what I can do - but meaningful names will clearly be longer than
the hex constants that they replace - and I'm already pushing line length
limits here, so it will need more than a trivial restructure.
