Why?  Using `defalias' seems simpler because with `defmacro' I would
have to copy the macro arguments and stub out a trivial macro body.
Also, this way the version check only happens once (at load time),
rather than every time the macro is called.

Agreed, I forgot about org-compat.  The alternate patch below moves
these definitions from org-macs.el to org-compat.el.

Thanks,
