I think the opposite. It shows how powerful macros are and that they 
will most likely be able to implement other new features that haven't 
been proposed yet.

Adding a bunch of new features to the language instead of taking a step 
back and thinking if something else can be added that implement these 
features and many more shows bad judgement.
