I can see that. When I tried Relink for the first time I was confused that
it *didn't* happen by default.
I like the idea of the RelinkMacro macro! Maybe if a particular parameter
wasn't specified, it would set all the parameters of that macro to that
type, like:
<<RelinkMacro myMacro type:"wikitext">>
I'm just trying to be lazy though, it's a good idea either way.
