 * I believe this was bogus and served only to mask logic errors.
 * Code should always know whether it has a buffer reference,
 * independently of the pin state.
 *
 * Note: For a further long time this was not quite the inverse of the
 * BufferIsInvalid() macro, in that it also did sanity checks to verify
 * that the buffer number was in range.  Most likely, this macro was
 * originally intended only to be used in assertions, but its use has
 * since expanded quite a bit, and the overhead of making those checks
 * even in non-assert-enabled builds can be significant.  Thus, we've
 * now demoted the range checks to assertions within the macro itself.
