Yes, they do not end up in the symbol table. But the macros make clear
where is the start of the function and especially where is the end
(something like closing bracket '}' in C). If you prefer not annotating
local symbols, I can of course drop it from everywhere. But to me it
looks more readable to see "here it starts" and "here it ends", still
without generating anything to the symbol table.
thanks,
