the book is alway right
Macro names must start with a letter and may contain letters, digits, and
underscores. Macro names cannot be reserved words such as pass, out, or
queue.

    ext_if = "fxp0"

    block in on $ext_if from any to any

This creates a macro named ext_if. When a macro is referred to after it's
been created, its name is preceded with a $ character.

Macros can also expand to lists, such as:

    friends = "{ 192.168.1.1, 10.0.2.5, 192.168.43.53 }"

good luck
