Cunning! Just to point out that this interesting technique is really too slow
for general use because it needs to do a full text search across all tiddlers
tagged $:/tags/Macro.
The original question arose because SS was trying to accommodate end users
renaming the tiddler containing a global macro. Given the prevalence of named
links between tiddlers it is pretty hard to accommodate and so I wouldn't
recommend it. (Packaging tiddlers as plugins might remove the temptation for
end users to rename them).
