NO!! I am really talking about prefix notation: I am pro macros when 
you have prefix notations and s-expressions (i.e. HTML/XML), whereas
I am not advocating macros in Python, which has an infix notation.

There are macro systems based on pattern matching which can work with
infix notation (I hear Dylan has one), but I feel somewhat happier with 
Lisp-style macros where everything is a list.
