I was reading through the release notes to find something and noticed
some small grammatical and consistency issues.

I'm happy to revert any of these changes if folks disagree with them!

- [You can now import and reexport macros from other crates with the `use`
syntax.][50911] Macros exported with `#[macro_export]` are now placed into
the root module of the crate. If your macro relies on calling other local
macros it is recommended to export with the
`#[macro_export(local_inner_macros)]` attribute so that users won't have to
import those macros.
