Amazing, wonderfully elegant.

Is there a way to avoid the second "\markup" and "\etc" in \markup \test 
\markup \box \etc "whatever" ? Of course I can do

circlefunc = \markup\circle\etc
\markup \test \circlefunc "whatever"

but this requires an extra function definition, so it makes it harder to 
exchange \circle for something different. (In my own super-clumsy idea I 
could write \markup \test #'circle "whatever".)
