Ugh!  Don't do this, it'll only cause trouble in the long run.
For example, if the macro contains control lines, it's likely
to behave differently than intended.  For example, try this
and see the difference:

.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------
.de xx
.ft B
maybe
.ft P
..
yes \*[xx] no
.br
yes
.xx
no
.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------

If the macro does not contain control lines, it will work, but
then the "macro" should preferrably be defined as a string, no?
