The self-modifying code mentioned in the Macros section could be automated in an IDE! That is, your IDE should be able to show you the expansion of a macro at that specific place. This feature would help me much more to understand what's going on than navigation to the macro source.

I'm not sure if there are any IDEs supporting (temporary) macro expansion already. The output showing all macros expanded is usually too verbose.
