Ok.  If anybody every does rewrite @macro, it might be nice to add
an @inline or @inlinemacro; this eliminates the problem of not
being able to "do both at the same time".

However, I realize that programmer time in most open-source
projects is incredibly limited; I'm not *complaining* about this
missing feature!  If I'm not willing to do it myself, I can't
complain about other people not doing it.
