These won't ever be reloaded, then? A macro-template won't be reloaded
unless it is timed out, and these won't ever be reloaded?

I'd love to be able to reconfigure everything about WebMacro runtime,
including whether the cache should be cleared etc. I just realized, of
course, that I could potentially just make a entirely new WM instance and
thus that would use all the new configurations, with new cache and all.

One more user-level question:
  How are the templates cached, regarding the other discussion? Are they
cached after they are parsed/compiled? Or are the cache just a cache of
the content of file? Or are there maybe a two-level cache?! I assume the
first, really..
