Inccrrect term FPC macros?

Regarding this text:

FPC macros: they are passed via the command line option -d, which can be set under Compiler Options / Custom Options. For example -dDEBUG -dVerbose will define the FPC macros DEBUG and Verbose, so you can use {$IFDEF Debug}. They are case insensitive. 

... I may be confused here but these things are called symbols rather than macros, right? At least http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progsu11.html#x18-170001.2.11 suggests so.

Seems I was right see also fpc macros http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progse5.html#x138-1390002.2. I've updated the article. --BigChimp 11:42, 21 June 2014 (CEST)
