Macros by textual substitution is a C concept.  Macros
by expression substitution come from Lisp; hence the
defmacro.  Lisp macros have a long and glorious
history and are still an active research topic.  A
recent paper (presented scarcely 4 weeks ago) is

It should provide enought references for the
interested scholar to assess the current state of the
art.
