The idea is that a macro could receive a declared transform and build
an object based on the contents of the macro; perhaps some of the
primitives in the object depend only on the translational component of
the transform, while others receive the full effect of the transform,
and perhaps the macro is supposed to remove any shearing from the
transform before building anything.

Granted, one could simply pass four vectors to the macro...
