It's not wrong to have each piece of code in its own package. However, the proper way to do so is to forget about in-package and use intern to produce the needed symbols (see Pascal's example). In-package affects the reader, while macros produce code, with no further reading involved. > > I also have similar issues using a PEG parser (a PEG syntax for esrap) inside a keyboard macro https://github.com/guitarvydas/paraphrase .
