That'd require parsing spec %files section without macro expansion, which would 
make it completely different from everything else in the spec, and break 
legitimate uses. If you take 

```
%files
%{one_macro}
%{other_macro}

Those macros might expand to files, or they might expand to new spec sections 
or whatever, and there's no telling until you expand the line. Ditto for all 
sorts of %if etc logic etc.

This is what -f is for, please use what exists and works.
