Calling all C preprocessor directives (like #include and #if) "macros" makes me skeptical. Is this usage common?

  I haven't heard/seen it before either.

  You are correct, this usage is wrong. They are "preprocessor directives", and macros are only what come after #define.

    To be pedantically correct: the C standards call them "preprocessing directives".
