> Macros are much more difficult to debug...

`macroexpand` and `macroexpand-1` are your friends.

Separate that first step, which is just reduction
(aka rewriting / reduction semantics), from the
subsequent step of Lisp-evaluating the sexp that
results from it.

So debug the macro-expansion step, to ensure you
get the sexp you want.  And debug evaluation of
that sexp - separately.
