I support Pauline's view as well. Why not just use comments to show what
is a macro and what isn't at a quick glance, and have to specify
what contexts are for macros in the 'normal' way, instead of specially
naming the context?

i.e. people could have a comment before (or in) the context with something
like:

; *********************
; * Hi! I am a Macro! *
; *********************

I'd say thats pretty visible :)
