Hmm.  The {$var} phase isn't mentioned on that page.  How is this 
different from:

	Markup('macroname', 'fulltext', '{macroname}',
		'random replacement text');

Would that $var form make it a global (for the page)?  If you give it 
arguments, like '{\\$macro (.*)}' (I'm confusing regexp syntax here, I 
think), and then use ParseArgs somehow...  Or maybe fulltext would be 
fine...

(random thoughts)

{def name {args ...} {body}}
{name arg1 arg2 ...}
