Why, exactly?
Because people would abuse it.
By the way, in very general terms, I don't buy this "people abusing
things" argument: you just undocument the thing, or put a capitalized
warning in the documentation explaining that the macro is for internal
use, for runtime libraries implementors, and you are done: I don't see
at all why you could consider yourself responsible for such abuses.
