Well, it's the only argument I have. I suspect #macro is somewhat slower
than #declare. But since this is an issue in only some extreme cases, it
probably boils down to a matter of taste. Both give the same result with
roughly the same amount of typing, plus #macro has some added flexibility.
Perhaps the author made test renders with pigment instead of media. But this
is just unfounded speculation.
