No, it doesn't; the scheme function called by your <self-path|...>
macro returns the constant stree '(arg "x") (constant at the Scheme
level, not at the TeXmacs typesetter level), and not anything based on
its argument. It doesn't fit in any of my four categories for the
scheme part. Your scheme function works only in combination with a
TeXmacs macro where one of the arguments is called "x", and not "y"
and not "prompt" and not ... I was trying to generalise it to one that
would work with "any" TeXmacs macro. The best I could come up with is
to pass the string supposed to replace "x" as an additional argument,
as exemplified in my previous email.
