I've seen a few different ways to do this, but this is how I'm doing it
for toggling thread display, with a user variable (`$my_...`):
# Shortcut to toggle thread display
set sort = date
set my_sort_alt = threads
macro index \\t '\
<enter-command>set my_sort_cur = $sort<enter>\
<enter-command>set sort = $my_sort_alt<enter>\
<enter-command>set my_sort_alt = $my_sort_cur<enter>' \
"Toggle thread display"
So backslash-T toggles between the values "date" and "threads". I'm
aware of using dynamically-sourced files for this, per the ConfigTricks
section of the manual, but that approach is not my cup of tea.

Maybe we can bring back the light.
