Ok, I am not done

>introduces the structured replacement for macro functions<<

No, it does not introduce a replacement. You can still use these
constructs in C++.

Right. So C++ being a MORE MODERN LANGUAGE, introduces the structured
replacement for macro functions, the inline function. But we shouldn’t
use this because we aren’t sure how it might work, and K&R didn’t need
it in C, and the Gods Who Wrote NT used macro functions so we should do
this as well. Uh-oh, microsoft C supports C++ inline functions. Hey,
wait a second, the NT operating system has both macro functions and
inline functions. What the heck…

It is a well know fact that using macroses in C (and, BTW, in C++ as
well)
is the way to introduce problems in your code and hide semantics.
