IMHO `import!` can be easily confused with `import`, even with a
monospace font. An alternative is that macro must have a name
different from keywords (so you will have macro_import!, for example),
even if I'd prefer my first proposal (maybe something like %import).
I think the whole point is that import! won't be obvious unless you're
looking for it, and those macros won't be obvious unless you're looking
for them. They're meant to blend in rather than stand out.
My assumption is that almost everyone uses an editor that has syntax
highlighting. Macros will stand out just as much as the users of those
editors think they should.
Personally, I think they should be fairly prominent.
But don't let me stop configuring your editor as you choose :)
Cheers,
Mark.
