readable, but we cannot use while write a macro such as:

I can't write such macros at all. I'm not even sure what this does.

 I would say lines of code.  In modern time 1 million characters
codebase is not big.  I hope that we are not in era of 1 million
files codebases, but who knows, we may be there in few years.

I think it was 20 years ago that I read somewhere that the MS Visual Studio codebase was 1.5 million files. IIRC, it took 11 hours to build, non-optimised, and 60 hours optimised.
