If it works only for Emacs Lisp macros, then it makes sense to put it in the ELisp manual.It's a minor mode, and the documentation describes commands of that mode. I don't think the ELisp manual is a good place for such features. We have "Programs" in the user manual, which describes features for developing programs using Emacs, and I think it's a good place for describing this feature.
Not that I necessarily disagree, but I think it warrants at least a mention in the Elisp manual section about macros, because it's very helpful for understanding how macros work. If it were only mentioned in the Emacs manual, new Elispers who are reading up on macros could easily overlook this great tool.
