I think this is very important. GGP wrote about Elixir's simplicty, but it's important to note that this simplicty is at risk whenever macros are involved. That said, I personally haven't had any issues with overly complex macros, but YMMV and macros certainly do open the doors to immense complexity. I do appreciate how Elixir tries to make them harder to write than normal functions, as if to say "are you sure you want to risk making this unclear instead of doing this another way?"
