 *  These functions also support a buffer check, to ensure there is enough
 *  space in your comm buffer that the function would not block - it could
 *  also be used as the basis of a MUTEX. This is implemented in the send
 *  function as a macro with two arguments, first the comm chan number and
 *  the message length in the form 
 *  MAVLINK_BUFFER_CHECK_START( chan, MAVLINK_MSG_ID_LEN )
 *  followed by the function code and then
 *  MAVLINK_BUFFER_CHECK_START
 *  Note that there are no terminators on these statements to allow for
 *  code nesting or other constructs. Default value for both is empty.
 *  A sugested implementation is shown below and the symbols will be defined
 *  only if they are not allready.
