And how testable is that solution? Sure macros are helpful but testing and debugging them is a mess

You mean whether the library itself is testable? I have no idea, I didn't write it, it's stable and out there for years.

Whether the program is testable? Why wouldn't it be. I could debug it just fine. Of course it's not as easy as Go or Python but let's not pretend it's some arcane dark art

Yes I mean mocking, faking, et. al. Not this particular library but macros in general
