While this is the case when you use #local, it is not the case when you
use #declare (except under special conditions). So it's not a general
rule. Since #macros neither use the #declare, nor the #local keyword
when they are defined, there's no reason to assume that they have the
same scope as either #declared variables or #local'ed variables. #macros
always have global scope, though I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the
documentation.
