So the main (or only?) purpose of the macro is to save
Better to say it saves cutting and pasting, which is a damn good thing -- even if macros are an old fashioned way of doing it.
in terms of functionality I could equivalently call each handlers.
But then you would have to call them repeatedly inside a loop and check for errors in the same way as is done in the macro. Not just call the function. On 24 December 2013 13:19, Fred Chou <fred.chou.nd@gmail.com> wrote:

And the macro just avoids to copy-paste identical lines/logic.
Thank you all for the explanation. Originally I was wondering if there could be some other reasons. So the main (or only?) purpose of the macro is to save some typing, and in terms of functionality I could equivalently call each handlers.
