Yeah, %define with options is what I'd really like (I think I even mentioned
somewhere surrounding the pending %literal).
In macro files the name limitation could be abused for similar effect by adding
special characters in the front of the name. AIUI rpm5 used "." to denote a
read-only macro, for our purposes eg "=" could mean "literal" and so on. It's
pretty ugly of course.
I suppose we could place the macro flags after the name, using a separator such
as ':'
That would fit in the macro file syntax easily, eg:
```
%_pyver:o %(python3 --version)
```
Not sure its any prettier than special characters in front, though :joy: For a
moment I thought about putting the flags inside [] after the name, but I think
we want to reserve that syntax for arrays if we ever get around to implement
them.
