As macros do not need access to the data but merely perform text

can execute. That would not allow the beloved WRITE - INSERT
cycle, but it would be a start and it would allow extensive
testing.
Indeed! If nothing else, it might provided a reference against which
any future implementation could be tested.
Implementing macros might be a good candidate for the Google SoC if
anyone would be prepared to make the proposal and to act as mentor.
