well, coming from someone (me) who read the docs but didn't adopt macroid, 
I thought the docs were great. A short paragraph or two of a high level 
overview of the implementation before diving into the samples would be nice.

I vaguely recall something about it using ?compiler templates? somewhere in 
the docs. Sorry, there's still plenty I'm not familiar with in scala. But 
my main concern was the implementation and runtime performance. Admittedly, 
I don't want to type tilde a lot either but that's more of a minor note.
