It seems like this brings a syntactical improvement at runtime performance 
cost. Are there more examples for compositional advantages or why would you 
prefer functions over macros for this?

E. g. I recently wrote myself arrow macros that return a functions which 
thread its only argument through the arrow - They could do the syntactical 
job at no cost here.
