call_cedar_macro_is_small
A def cedar macro called in an ordinary when { … } position:
is_small(context.input.shares) slots into the clause exactly like plain
Cedar. The macro is defined in the macro library (macros.dw, supplied via
--macros), not redeclared in policy.dw, and it guards a SellShares
permit against the reusable Drupe schema.
Validate with:
dogwood validate policy.dw --policy-schema schema.cedarschema --macros macros.dw

Macros
// Shareable macro library, attached to a schema via --macros. This `def`
// definition is merged into every policy set lowered against the schema, so
