The point is that it doesn't actually help -- there are a million other
cases that can trip up the user, and the only general solution is for
users to be aware of problems that can crop up during macro replying and
be fairly conservative in how they make macros.

Having commands work _differently_ during macro recording is guaranteed
to confuse people, and doing so will probably cause as many problems as
it "solves".
