In most cases, macros are best defined in 2 steps:

1- provide a function-based solution
2- provide a simple macro that expands to a call to the function-based
   solution, with a very simple massaging (typically adding a few quotes
   or wrapping with some `lambda`).

That also makes debugging easier.
