What I meant is that _each_ invocation is either `a-OR-b'.
The user has to explicitly hit it twice to get `a-THEN-b' behavior.

Of course.

The thing to remember is that, using my suggested behavior,
`C-x e' really just means `execute the macro'.  The `end definition'
part is more like background housekeeping done for the user's
convenience, and I doubt most users would ever think about it; there's 
no need to distinguish it from uses of `C-x e' afterwards.
