That's exactly the case. Somebody else owns/maintains `foo` and other
functions/macros that `foo` corresponds with. I am only going to put
in a macro in the body of `foo` in order to provide some value that is
orthogonal to foo's main intent. There are several such functions
(like `foo`) where I have to put in the macro. As I am not the owner
of that code it does not make sense (from maintenance standpoint,
currently) to control the way they are defined. Hope that clarifies.
