Clarifying: <snip> If you comply with the documented requirements of an interface then if you
choose to "roll your own" rather than use the macro, you will survive. </snip> By "roll your own" I meant that you produce exactly what the macro produces in terms of what gets passed to the service and what (and how) output data is dealt with. So usually you would invoke the macro, see what it expands to, then (in effect) copy that. And of course that does also imply that you "got it right" whether by the macro or the hand-built analog.
