Macros in closure are (fn ...) where the var in which the function
resides has a flag in the metadata set. Which means there is no
difference between the two except to eval (or apply).
I was just thinking that all of the def* should share return values.

I'm new to Lisp so please forgive me if I'm way off track here...
Macros are not functions, and don't enjoy the same rights as first
class functions (ie: being assignable).
Macro-expansion happens before exe
It's unlikely to come up, but I noticed this:
(macroexpand-1 '(defmacro foo [] 'bar))
=>(do (clojure/defn foo [] (quote bar)) (. (var foo) (setMacro)))
Doesn't return the return value of the defn, which I think it should
for consistency.
