Why? The next instruction would already have been fetched, as well as the

How could a macro help the hardware process a new instruction?

I was positing an instruction that could accommodate various subsequent instruction lengths. Either the coder would need to know and specify that length, or else use a macro to have it done under the covers. Sorry the post wasn't clear on that.
