Which is as close as I have come to "How to Design Macros" so far.
I read that earlier, and it gave me the confidence to get stuck in...
maybe I read it again to give me the insight to know what I'm doing.
Well it might help prepare you to understand something like Danny's
solution. But unfortunately it doesn't specifically explain local
expansion. That was only at the fuzzy edge of my own understanding.
Still is: When I read something like Jens' code, my brain still hears
"blah blah blah Ginger".

Do you _know_ how good it makes me feel that someone else "blah blah blah
Ginger"s with macros?
Went through fear-of-macros AGAIN last night. I think I can cope with that!
It all sounds *so reasonable*... but everything anyone writes about macros
sounds *so reasonable*. Until I put the page down!
I feel like one of those Zen disciples who just doesn't get it.
But quite often they do. After a while. So I'm keeping up hope.
