+## Exported macros
+
+In addition to globally defined macros, the following macros are automatically
+exported to generators, on a subpackage basis:
+
+*%{name}*++
+*%{epoch}*++
+*%{version}*++
+*%{release}*
+
+Added: 4.15.0
+
+## Parametric macros

I left it out initially because this is already in the GENERATORS section. In a similar fashion, there's Types, Protocols and Exported macros, without "generators" in them.

That said, "Parametric macros" does sound confusing because it makes you think that generators support some kind of parametric macros, or something. So ack, I'll use "generators" here, no harm will be done by repeating :smile:
