You are using macros, yes <wink>.  What Guido is telling you is that the set
of macros we already have is adequate for everything we do, so it would just
bloat our code base with stuff we never ever test if we were add additional
stuff we never use.  He's also telling you that you can write your macros in
such a way that you don't have to change them across Python releases, and it
was *that* complaint you seemed keenest about.  That one you can solve on
your own.
