This was a very simple example, but much more complex interfaces have been
developed, such as [`lazy_static`](https://crates.io/crates/lazy_static) or
[`clap`](https://crates.io/crates/clap).

Also, note the two pairs of braces in the macro. The outer ones are
part of the syntax of `macro_rules!`, in addition to `()` or `[]`.

This is a little confusing to me – which "macro" are you referring to here? what is the "outer one"?

The macro that's defined, there's only one. It's almost a copy-paste from the first edition of the book:

The outer braces are part of the syntax of macro_rules!. In fact, you can use () or [] instead.
They simply delimit the right-hand side as a whole.

I didn't link to the book since it's the first edition and RBE only references the second one, which doesn't cover this bit.

Would you prefer something like this?

Also, note the two pairs of braces in the macro definition [or: in the calculate definition]. The outer braces are part of the syntax ...

If not, feel free to suggest a better version. I think it's important to explain this syntax since it's the first time it is used in this book.
