flyspell.el and maybe complete.el and man.el. Most libraries have to
handle this in a special way. comint.el, for example, also checks the
directory for accessibility. Moreover, it's not clear whether such a
macro should unwind-protect body in order to restore the non-existing
default-directory after exiting abnormally. Finally, macros add an
annoying extra indentation level.
