I've updated the demo with "version 0.1.2" of my showmacrodef plugin, which is still not finished, just improved (I hope). Fixing the duplicate entries was trivial (missed out a unique[] operator in a filter).
To speed things up and make them look tidier, I removed the preview of possible source tiddlers within the dropdown.
