simple riddle about macro

Bellow is a macro from Perl source code (perl.h).

# define _swab_32_(x) ((U32)( \
         (((U32)(x) & U32_CONST(0x000000ff)) << 24) | \
         (((U32)(x) & U32_CONST(0x0000ff00)) <<  8) | \
         (((U32)(x) & U32_CONST(0x00ff0000)) >>  8) | \
         (((U32)(x) & U32_CONST(0xff000000)) >> 24) ))

Provide at least 3 ideas, how this may be reused in other projects.

The teams of more humble craftspeople I've worked with have been compellingly more productive. I find it a joy to hear "I'm not really that great a programmer, I was a History major -- but let me show you the way that we combined Visitor and Strategy in our last project, I really liked how it came out" ... and onto my whiteboard flows an elegant, terse work of beauty. I respond to the humility, to the shift from "I" to "we", and to the obvious appreciation for the abstraction itself.
