As an aside, my impression is that Rust developers are using macros less now than they were even a couple of years ago. It seemed a few years ago, a lot of people coming to Rust were impressed by the power of macros (especially procedural) and used them in a lot of libraries. It seems now, people are realizing the costs of macros to tooling and understandability, and are using them more judiciously.
