Not that I necessarily disagree, but I think it warrants at least a
mention in the Elisp manual section about macros, because it's very
helpful for understanding how macros work. If it were only mentioned in
the Emacs manual, new Elispers who are reading up on macros could easily
overlook this great tool.
