OMG Macros
summary
Claims that macros unlock powerful DSL‑style transforms but also create brittle, hard‑to‑reason code. Shows use of defmacro/cl-defmacro and backquote/comma to generate code, then applies a macro called dm-coalesce-hash to ETL Org Mode tables to build tile sets for a dungeon‑mode project. Actual implementation uses eval at runtime to force macro expansion (breaking byte‑compile assumptions), which makes the pipeline work but is admitted a design failure and fragile for maintenance.
