The "we use a stable macro that uses the same unstable features anyway" is kinda confusing though.

I guess it's about language interface stability more than unstable feature functional stability?

I did not double check, but I assume the macro is provided by std (which is allowed to use unstable items internally). This macro can be stabilised, even if the unstable features themselves are not stabilised yet.
