Consider removing macro syntax extensions #344

Closed jcubic closed 6 months ago

They are kind of redundant. You can do anything with functions. There are no benefit of using macros.

[x] Remove them from documentation
[ ] Remove from Standard library
[ ] Remove from the core

It's actually problematic to remove macros syntax-extensions because of how object literals are implemented. %object-expander is a function which returns code that that is then used in object and object-literal.
