I'd guess (or rather hope) that does macros predate that convention and now they are afraid to break backwards compat (a notion very common to boost too I might add). But even so, I wonder what engineer thought that this was a good idea for a macro name even then.
It is evidently a newly added macro, so why would Microsoft continue to add new macros which are not all uppercase letters ? Replicating their stupidity for previously creating macros where the letters were not uppercase is not a reason for continuing to do so.
