I stand corrected :-).

My point was that sometimes spelling out the repetitive code patterns that
macros can abstract over is more evil.  So I think that situations in
which one nneds macros are more evil then the macros themselves.  Since we
don't always choose our situations, sometimes I want to have macros :-).
