Personal feeling: don't bother.
Aesthetically, I dislike capitals … which inclines me away from the use of 
macros (and I think it's a good thing that the convention is to use capitals 
for macros … if it discourages their use … since IMO macros often obscure code 
rather than clarifying it).
IMO the utility of avoiding the overhead of sending a -release message to nil 
is questionable on modern processors.
