Beleave me, “there the worst code obfuscating feature ever” is one of the most proven in use dogma ever. ;-) That you will not misuse it does not mean nobody will misuse it. The C-example which has been provided looks like a misuse for me. Macros replace text in code with something other which can be anything. Isn't this obfuscation by definition?
