It's not. (One way to call someone an idiot is saying "You're an idiot".
If you somehow understood any of my emails as implying you're an idiot,
then I'm sorry. It was definitely not intended.)

The reason I asked (I didn't actually repeat anything, and it's all
apparently still far from obvious, at least to me) is that I'm confused:
You say "I didn't implement is as a macro, because A". Now we both agree
that A is an invalid argument. Given that you now also confirmed you did
want to implement it as a macro in the first place, I would expect that
either you do implement it as a macro, or provide a valid argument for
not doing so. Maybe I really am too dense, but the hitchhiker quotation
didn't help.
