I think it's more important to be explicit in the macro 
invocation than in the macro declaration. You can tell from the 
macro declaration that it's a macro you are looking at, even 
without the `macro` keyword, but the proposed syntaxes offer no 
no way to tell between a regular function call and a macro 
invocation by looking at the callsite alone.
