Macros only work on syntax but not on values, as you noted in your
post. Here again:
julia> macro test(args...)
@show args
:()
end
julia> @test k[5] u[i]
args = (:(k[5]),:(u[i]))
()
Macros are processed during parsing of the source, no values exists at
that point. Jacob had a good short talk on this:

Anyway, you could use this instead:
julia> function makefn(fname,label)
quote
function $fname()
label
end
export $fname
end
end
makefn (generic function with 1 method)
julia> cmds = Dict{Symbol,Symbol}(
:L => :leech, :R => :raise
)
Dict{Symbol,Symbol} with 2 entries:
:R => :raise
:L => :leech
julia> for kv in cmds
@eval $(makefn(kv[2],kv[1]))
end
julia> raise
raise (generic function with 1 method)
