Declare a macro in the current namespace with its associated parameters. The macro identifier is used by the [`call`](cil_call_macro_statements.md#call) statement to instantiate the macro and resolve any parameters. The call statement may be within the body of a macro.
When resolving macros the following places are checked in this order:
- Items defined inside the macro
- Items passed into the macro as arguments
- Items defined in the same namespace of the macro
- Items defined in the callers namespace
- Items defined in the global namespace
