First (the question): postone such changes.

Second (the opinion): don't agree. In my case, I'd make these "static
macros", and then "my developers" (the folks coding on top of my
framework) would be allowed to use them, buf -of course not- change them.
They would work more like directives, not macros. Thus, this wouldn't be
that big a problem. I was just asking. For my part, the
"macro-files-aren't-reload-checked" are a MUCH MUCH worse problem.

IM(H)O: I WANT A 2.0 OUT!! NOW!! Fix the bugs (if any) - DO NOT include
more features. DROP ANY MORE DEVELOPMENT! STOP!!!! *GET* *IT* *OUT*!

(That was just to express my inner thoughts about the state of WebMacro,
do not take it to seriously. ;) )

Endre.
