Identifier expansion got broken in 2000 when getMacroBody() was
removed from the API (commit ad99fcba52fcc5e8ab636d2f1760c945cdfbf19).

Nobody seemed to have noticied, so it's safe to say that there is
no one that used it the intented way.

With the bad commit there is an unintended use for it: it is
a way to specify a string without the otherwise needed quotes.

So this commit might break some existing spec files, but cleaning
those up is easy and makes the world a better place.
