Good advice. Most people in PRL already know about macros,
but there might be a few students in CS G711 who don't yet
understand how they could be used to solve this problem.
As I have nothing to do with CS G711, and am uncertain as
to why these messages were sent to the entire PRL, I am not
expressing any opinion on whether such advanced macros are
a pedagogically appropriate technique or topic for the second
week of CS G711.
