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 :-).
