maybe I misunderstand.  the following works on alpha.10064268.unofficial

-----<snip>-----
#version 3.8;

global_settings {assumed_gamma 1}

#declare A = 0;

#undef A

#macro A(b_)
  b_
#end

#declare B = A(1);

#debug concat("B = ",str(B,0,0),"\n")
-----<snip>-----

(if you remove the '#undef', ie try to create macro with same name while the
identifier still _is_in_use_, error "expected undeclared identifier" occurs.
which is as it should be, aiui)
