People always will want more, but some features are nice.
for C/C++ programmers, macro is on of the best things to make thing work
every where.

its possible to create a IDE macro, but the native php feature will be good.
template engines can de wrap this functionality too.
is just like a variable:

$method = $_GET['m'];
$control = $_GET['c'];

$c = new $control;
$c->$method();

like a macro..

program is make thing dynamic.

while($object = $iterator->next()) {

}

macro("ITER","while($object = $iterator->next())")

ITER($iterator) {
   $object->save();
}
