The consensus in the community right now is to not get carried away with macros and DSLs. Even if your library provides a DSL, it should be based on a functional API that is mostly usable without macros.
Yup. But what people say and what people do is often not the same thing :).
Sure. I just wanted to stress the point that macros are local in their scope. It's nothing like monkey-patching in Ruby where importing a module can change all divisions from floats to rational numbers.
