But my point was that in a macro, you have control over the case; if you stack 
stuff, you're making assumptions about case translation. I wouldn't write:

'command change /this/that/*'

in a macro if I meant to change THIS to THAT; your technique allows/encourages 
such sloppiness if you're assuming CASE U, because stuff will get uppercased 
when it falls out of the stack. Yes, the subcommand above will do the same in 
CASE U, but it seems clearer to me that it's wrong.

Maybe this is just me...
