Exchanging the value of two variables requires declaring a temporary
variable and repeating their names.  The swap macro in apply.c
simplifies this for its callers without changing the compiled binary.
Polish this macro and export it, then use it throughout the code to
reduce repetition and hide the declaration of temporary variables.

  add SWAP macro
  apply: use SWAP macro
  use SWAP macro
  diff: use SWAP macro
  graph: use SWAP macro
