It depends on what you find "convenient". For any macro, I have to
remember which arguments are evaluated and which not, or read the docs
every time I want to use it. Macros make debugging harder. Etc.
That's why we usually avoid macros when a function would do.
I understand that you find your suggestion more convenient, but OTOH it
would not be consistent with similar functions we have and introduce
another inconsistency. I just think it's not worth it.
Michael.
