In E6 Damien writes about macros: "As soon as it has parsed that subroutine call (including its argument list) it will detect that the subroutine &request is actually a macro, so it will immidiately call &request with the specified arguments".
If macroness is found *after* parsing the arguments, when does the "is parsed" trait's action kick in? Elsewhere, he writes: "The 'is parsed' trait tells the parser what to look for immediately after it encounters a macro's name". I would guess that the latter is what is intended. Or is it that the absence of an explicit "is parsed" changes the behaviour (for efficiency reasons, perhaps, as many common uses will parse arguments in standard ways [though act in mind warping ways] ) ? abhi.
