Forgive a mere mortal, and if this is irrelevant then just disregard it but;

IMO defining multiple macros, or macros in a tiddler containing other 
stuff, is not true to tiddler philosophy. There mere fact that a macro is 
*defined 
*indicates that it should be an (individual) tiddler.

Adhering to tiddler philosophy here would also open up for a *much* more 
friendly UI for creating macros, as I've noted elsewhere. Briefly; an 
(individual) macro tiddler could for example have the *type *macro and thus 
a specific macro edit template with separate fields for the macro title and 
another for parameters. Why should a user have to learn special syntax for 
macros when they are basically just encompassing "shells".

In practice one currently typically needs to define multiple macros within 
the same tiddler. This could be easily solved, in accordance with what I 
just wrote, by adding new macros comparable to how we currently add new 
fields. In actuality, what is created are separate macro tiddlers but they 
are presented (transcluded) as if part of the current edit view.
