Do any widely used interpreted languages implement C-style macros? (I'm
aware of Lisp, but Lisp macros are quite different from C macros).
If not, it's even worse than arguing about efficency of macros in an
unspecified language, we're arguing about efficiency of macros in a
*hypothetical* language.
