I define my own local macro and use that instead to avoid the dependency.

I guess that's worth it if you can make your library have zero dependencies, and if not though how much is being gained? Boost.StaticAssert has just one include (and it looks more beefy than one might expect):

A package/repo download is still a download, even if it contains a single header. We probably need to move that into Config at some point (and drop all the pre-11 stuff.) https://github.com/boostorg/endian/blob/c0b5c80603b8de7eeea8724c9a4f2761c3df...
