Except the vast majority of the audience likely have no idea what the
'lisp macro system' is like or what this comparison implies.. Even
though I dabbled in a little LISP almost 40 years ago, I don't remember
anything about LISP macros, just Assembler and C macros :)
Any such comparison should be with something that is common knowledge,
not something even more obscure than the primary subject matter.
