You're quite right.  I tried it, and to alias it, you'd have to write:

  #macro sph() sphere #end

  sph() { <sphere and texture options> }

And the parentheses would have to be included with every invocation, adding
two more characters and obfuscation to otherwise straight code.  It would
hardly be a worthwhile "abbreviation"
