/code></pre><p>As you can see, macros are very powerful but also are prone to subtle bugs. You must remember that
at their core, macros are just functions that output code, and the code that they return must
work in many contexts! Many times a function will suffice and be more useful that a macro, as
functions can be more easily passed around and used as first class values.
