I will second (third? fourth?) that, though a lot of the macro stuff is clarifications rather than enhancements.
Intel code uses macros extensively.
Macros get a lot of criticism, but the fact is that users find them very important.
Since, as we saw last time, getting macros expansions to be unambiguous and bug-free is very difficult, one approach that I had suggested considering is officially adopting a well-known preprocessor such as CPP or M4.
