(this one is old, it has since been mostly corrected, but the 
question of macros in general remains open)

at one year old, the question of macros has still not been 
addressed, leaving importC well short of its potential:

And the namespace problem with conflicts was at that point, and 
still is, a serious problem for widespread adoption:

ImportC is 2 1/2 years old and still hasn't addressed fundamental 
problems with its model. It finally works ok if you use it alone, 
but it still has trouble if you use it with others.
