Using go_up_1 defined as

   define up_1 ()
   {
      up(1);
   }
   define go_up_1 ()
   {
      () = up_1 ();
   }
   
is always going to be slower than "() = up(1)" because of the
additional function call overhead.  If speed is an issue, you should
use it instead of go_up_1.  However, it uses 3x the byte-code of
go_up_1.  So, for uses where speed is not critical, go_up_1 is a
better alternative.
