Thanks for the revision.  I approve of the macro idea, however...

The refcounting change you made to Tcl_FSEvalFileEx() has converted
it into a Consumer of its "pathPtr" argument.  I'm not confident
all existing callers are prepared for that change.  In any case,
I'd rather consider that interface change separately from a
deprecation TIP trying to stay out of controversy.  Can we save
that detail for later?
