Can a macro be executed by another macro? Back in my troff days we used to write macros like "save_a_group_of_settings" and "restore_saved_settings". After the housekeeping macro calls appeared at the start and end of several other definitions, the mind learns to ignore them when considering the logic of the macro later. -- Jon H.
