Subject: cautionary tale: avoid creating/using a macro called "title"

Dear all,
I have, until now, used a macro
#+macro title The title of the document
to be subsequently used in the actual #+title line, as in
#+title: @@latex:...@@ {{{title}}} @@latex:...@@
(LaTeX details not important, I think.)
but this now leads to a recursive evaluation of the line when exporting,
causing an infinite loop.
Changing the name of the macro to something else avoids the issue. I'm
not entirely sure why a macro expansion of the #+title line would be
recursive but there you are!
