I've played around with LISP macros a little, but it seems that most<br>
of the cases where you would use a macro in LISP you don't need one in<br>
haskell due to lazy evaluation. Although I haven't played around with<br>
them enough to say much one way or another.<br>
<br>
Do you know of a particular example where a macro would be a big help<br>
in haskell?<br>

They're often described as "programs that write programs." We all know how much Haskell likes abstractions ;)<br>
