 The new exporter does not properly parse \n characters in macro definitions.

 In the old exporter the following:

 #+MACRO: test hello\ngoodbye

 {{{test}}}

 exports to ASCII as:

 hello
 goodbye

 In the new exporter (e-ascii) it exports as:

 hello\ngoodbye

 I've also reproduced this using e-pdf and e-texinfo.

Indeed. There is no support anymore for that feature. Macros are
a simple tool for simple tasks. Anything more complicated would overlap
with Babel functionalities. There's no point in providing that.

As a side note, the old exporter is wrong anyway, since only line breaks
should ensure to keep a real line break in the output.

Also, a macro can be replaced with a more complicated Babel call, if
needed.
