After this, two remarks come to my mind:
1. Implementing this macro-facility was really easy. No change in Cucumber was required. This illustrates the flexibility in the design of Cucumber. Many thanks.
2 Adding macros wisely, has a tremondous effect on the way scenarios look like: it really helps to decrease the gap between the lower-level housekeeping details and the user intents.
