I think they are a powerful and versatile. I only see one problem: in my opinion, the comma as a character to separate arguments seems unproductive to me. I often use macros to enter textual content, and I find it a bit tedious having to constantly escape such a common symbol as the comma (\,). In fact, for my personal use I have modified the `org-macro-extract-arguments' function, and now I separate the arguments using '@ (quote + at). Am I the only one who thinks there should be better alternatives to the comma? Do you think it would be good to add these alternatives as a '#+startup' option? Regards, Juan Manuel
