You should really clarify if you are talking about Lisp in general or
about GNU Emacs and its Lisp implementation. I don't know enough about
Lisp in general to say if you're right or not. But for Emacs Lisp, I'm
positive that macros are not the same as functions, especially in the
debugger (which is where a user would see them). See Drew's response
for practical advice on how to deal with that.
