> 1. The STATS_SECT_START and STATS_SECT_END macros just define a struct; they don't create an instance.  Generally, these macros would be used in a header file so that source files can have access to the struct definition.
> 2. The addition of a STATS_SECT_DECL macro.  This macro would be used in two places:
>     * In source files to instantiate a stats struct.
>     * In header files to expose an extern declaration of a stats instance.
> 3. As a consequence of the above two points: the names of struct instances are no longer auto-generated.  The user needs to specify the exact name.  All macros which derive the instance name from the struct name are changed: now they just accept the instance name directly.
