I forgot to reply to this earlier. I feel it's important to be addressed as it 
contains some important issues that will need correcting.

The first part (up to approx 0:40) deals with inconsistencies between the 
extrude menu and the operator assigned to EKey. Revision 26875 should deal with 
that.

The second part is caused by changing the Extrude Type in the Operator Redo 
panel. This parameter is part of the generic extrude operator which is used by 
all extrude macros. The problem is that this properties is hardcoded as a 
specific value in all of the extrude macros, it shouldn't be modifiable because 
the transform operator that follows generic extrude in the macro often is 
either specific to an extrude type (Shrink/Fatten follows Individual Faces) or 
has properties specific to the context (along normals).

This is already done when generating the operators from the operator type, the 
properties defined in the macro overwrite whatever properties are set in the 
keymap or by user if called in Python. This measure is not applicable to the 
redo system though, so we'll need to think of something for that case. 
Preferably, I'd like the properties defined in a macro to be visible but read 
only (visible because it can help the user understand what's happening and read 
only because they are hardcoded in the macro for a reason).

One of the inconveniences highlighted (some types not being available all the 
time) is caused by that enum being context sensitive, which might not work 
correctly all the time (pretty sure it's specific to how that particular enum 
was coded).

Thanks Charles for taking the time to make that video and write up on the 
different problems.
