Rich does a fine job of explaining macros here:
http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Going+Deep/Expert-to-Expert-Rich-Hickey-and-Brian-Beckman-Inside-Clojure
See minutes 23 to 25. The macro concept is not complicated, it should
not be hard to explain to someone. The benefits of code writing code
should be obvious and familiar to everyone.

The complexity comes from the particulars of how you write good macros
in your lisp. And mastery of that is primarily a function of writing
your own and reading good examples.
