I just finished implementing a solution and it looks exactly like this. You're absolutely right - this is precisely the pattern I was looking for. What I didn't do, and I think the biggest lesson I've learned from these early macro-fighting days, is to do exactly what you propose: sketch out what the macro should expand to *before* working on the macro itself.
