That's a good question. I think it's because I've written far more macros
using the former style than the latter, so it reads more naturally to me.
The "list construction" style is also valid, but has always felt more
awkward. That said, others might feel exactly the opposite.

But in the absence of a definitive style guide, I'd say: stick with what
we have already.

Thanks for the taking the time to submit a patch!
