No, as this harms readability:

#define macro(x) function((x))

would completely pointlessly be having an extra set of parentheses.
And

#define macro(x, y) function(x, y)

is just the logical extension to that: There is nothing the expressions
passed as arguments could contain to require parenthesization, as
there's no operator of precedence lower than comma (and if either
argument contains a comma expression, it needs to be
parenthesized at the invocation site anyway).
