But you also know that (up to 5.0.9beta) macros are not global.

Javascript macros are global and the macro syntax is well known by users.

I could see your intention. IMO the TW syntax is already too complicated to
remember.
I think, it doesn't make sense, to have 2 mechanisms, that look different,
but do the same thing. It's only confusing.
I think, for standard users we should keep the basic syntax simple.
- {{transclusion}}
- {{transclusion!!withTextReference}}
- {{transclusion||withTemplate}}
TWclassig did transclusion like <<tiddler "myTiddler##section">> and <<tiddler
"myTiddler::slice">> ... So I think that's why we have 2 seperators here.
we have a very similar syntax for filtered lists
- {{{ [tag[mechanism]] }}}
- {{{ [tag[mechanism]] ||TemplateTitle}}}
more configurable lists will use the <<list>> macro:
- <<list filter:"[tag[myList]sort[title]]">>
- <<list filter:"[tag[myList]sort[title]]" template:abc>>
- <<list filter:"[tag[myList]sort[title]]" template:abc type:ul>>
and if you need the full power and like it complicated use the <$list>
widget.
I think at the moment, the syntax is relatively consistent. ... but if you
have
- {{DOM-Navigation|alternativ="Document_Object_Model"|Wikipedia}}
As a user I'd expect the following to work too.
- {{{ [tag[mechanism]] |param:"asdf"|TemplateTitle}}}
so where do we draw the line. I think it would be more useful to get
"global macros" working. So standard users don't need to mess around with
<$widgets>
I personally would like to have less syntax elements, that do the same
thing or elements that look very similar, but do a completely different
thing.
just my 2€ents
have fun!
