Oh dear - are there any efforts underway to fix this?
There have been discussions about fixing it every few months in the
nearly 4 years that I've been paying any attention. I'm sure it's gone
on longer than that.
Recently Ben Gillies started writing up some thoughts on something he
calls TiddlyLib which is an approach to gain some more modularity.
There's a sense that this project may have a bit more legs than
previous attempts.

I reckon the reason it has more legs is because of TiddlySpace
expanding the market somewhat.
Abstraction seepage through globals is a nightmare in
javascript.
Yes. As I think I've stated elsewhere you're experiencing the same "oh
dear" reaction that many people who are experienced with Javascript or
other programming environments have when encountering TiddlyWiki's
code.
It would be really nice if the basic wikiText -> HTML (etc)
were structured as a jQuery plugin.
That's been discussed in the past too, but hasn't yet panned out.
Are you saying that macro expansion is interleaved with
wiki text expansion and not as a pre-processor step?
It's more kind of like a post-processor step. A macro is bounded by
'<<' and '>>'. When that token is found the macro handling is engaged.
It doesn't have to be.
Thanks - I viewed the source - most of the magic is
in twikifier.js. I shall have to hack a bit ...
twikifier.js is constructued from TwikifierBase.js + some tiddlywiki
files + TwikifierEnd.js.
