Macros look the same as functions in lisp, the only difference is that you can't pass them as function arguments. Unless there is a bug in the macro you just spend the same time understanding the macro that you would understanding a function. Most macros are just simple syntactic abstractions that expands simple code to more lines of relatively simple code to avoid boilerplate. Very rarely do people write complex beasts without documentation.
