> So, if I define a macro whose result is an integer, I bet the compiler will kindly notify my blunder when trying to make a list from this integer (right?). Same thing if the macro yields a function.

No, it won't. Because a macro returns an object which is inserted into the code. It's usually a list, but not always. It can be an integer, it can be a function object, and unfortunately the underlying mzscheme doesn't allow tables.
