I am against the use of macros in general, and their 
abuse in particular. Macros are invasive, and very 
often lead to obcsure code.

In some cases, macros are fine.

In this case, the problem isn't macros but exception 
specifications, which are considered as a Bad Thing by 
some people (Dave and probably others).

No problem: it's easy to get confused about other's 
opinions when the number of quotations grows.
