The patch is integrated (although largely untested

RPMTAG_BUILDMACROS so far).
Well, if you looked at my recent RPM Lua hacks in detail you will
see that I'm actually using rpm.macros() in all of them. This
*IS* exactly this patch you have applied. My OpenPKG-specific
"append-tag-value-to-macro" patch I applied today just allows one
in Lua
to fetch from rpm.macros() all(!) values of a tag, not just the last
one.
Good.
There are two possible implementations available with macros
if you need/want a tuple.
CSV is one, but note also that macro values are stacks, all the
previous values are there, just not top-of-stack.
I should be less oblique:
A macro primitive to coalesce a stack into a CSV list is what I'd
like to see.
