Syntax vs datum. Syntax usually needs source locations tagged for good error reporting at minimum. String-> String or unannotated Sexp->Sexp are not going to be able to
CPP macros are string to string. Preprocessor style. They do annotate original source locations though.

Hmm. macros are close to term rewriting. Quoting is a way of talking about syntax and meaning… Hmm. egglog macros expander if hygienic needs this stuff… We often want to switch between term and semantics views. Stepping out of the binding table. scope vs context a set of scopes is perhaps like an eclass of scopes metatheoryjl possibly had thoughts on this. generatedfunctions etc https://pl.ewi.tudelft.nl/research/projects/scope-graphs/ scope graphs a theory of name rtesolution

Raw macros work on syntax. Hygienic macros pay more attention to scope. They attach scope identification data to the syntax tree.
