Yes, that's correct.

In the first case, the LoadMacro command would pass a "macro string"
including the macro command line as per ExecMacro instead of just the macro
name as it does now. In the second, the data following the /l or /e option
could be a "quoted" macro string rather than just the macro name. Another
format could be /l{at}file or /e{at}file, where "file" is the name of a text file
containing a batch of macro strings (one per line) that would be processed
sequentially as per the list files used in PKZIP. Yeah, I know this is
wishlist stuff, so maybe it should be saved for v5.0? :)
