Uh, how on earth we didn't have %dnl documented in the macro docs? :flushed: It certainly belongs in that table, it's not spec-specific although that's where the most typical usage may be.

Putting this into the "Comments" section seems strange. We should have (however brief) section about macros in the syntax, probably as the very first subsection as they're so fundamental to the spec. Maybe something like

```
### Macros

Each line in the spec is macro-expanded before further processing. The macro syntax and the built-in macros are described in <insert link>. Typically there are vast amounts of other macros available for helping with common packaging.
```
