Hi Jonatan, Yes, the tracer does not receive the macro arguments, but we did not have a use case for such either. The biggest concern is that we could allow tracers to evaluate and execute arguments and that’s a very risky line to cross.
Maybe this is the use case we were waiting for but then we would need to expand if this would actually be better than macros.
