As you noticed, you cannot nest macros. You can use macros within macro
definitions, tho. Alas, it will not work with (eval ...) templates,
since those make no assumptions about the rest of the template and
simply use `read' on it.
Anyway, as pointed out in this thread, if you take the (eval ...) path,
you don't really need macros: you're in Elisp.
