The plan is to provide a way to expose wiki content in pages as
macros. This planned in 2.0 milestone 2 (ie in about 3-4 weeks).
The idea is that you would add some Macro Objects to a page and
describe the macro using that objects (name, parameters, default
values, content, etc). Once this is done the macro will be available
as any rendering macro, i.e using wiki syntax {{mymacro..../}} or from
the WYSIWYG editor.
