[RFC] Syntax for macros

["Sebastien Vauban" <sva-news-D0wtAvR13HarG/iDocfnWg@public.gmane.org>]

Hello,

I know this question can be a sensible one, but I wonder whether we
couldn't "remove some fat" from the macro "call" syntax?

When trying to convince colleagues and friends to use macros, I get
kind of allergic reactions because of the many accolades.

Example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  #+MACRO: hlt @@html:<span style="background-color: yellow;">$1</span>@@

  This {{{hlt(information)}}} is important.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I wondered whether we could reduce the number of accolades to 2 or 1?

This would be much more easy to read, IMO:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  This {hlt(information)} is important.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Would this be possible?  If so, would you want that as well?

Best regards,
  Seb
