OK, in this case you mean?

Because in general you don't need a macro to generate
a function?

I wrote this:

(defmacro file-to-variable (file var)
  `(setq ,var ,(file-to-string file)) )

(defmacro file-to-variable-integer (file var)
  `(setq ,var ,(string-to-number (file-to-string file))) )

I wrote that to get a function? Don't remember...

Also from the unofficial code:

(defun syms-status (sym-list)
  (mapcar (lambda (s) (list s (symbol-value s))) sym-list))

(defmacro vars-status (&rest sym-list)
  `(syms-status ',sym-list))

Also don't remember :)
