-    Always free locally defined macros when they go out of scope
-    - Prior to this, local defines in constructs like %{!?foo: %define foo bar}
-      would remain defined until a parametrized macro gets called, causing
-      obscure and confusing errors in specs such as RhBug:551971 and countless
-      others. Use of %global is now always required for such constructs.
