yes, with the caveat that undoing them (the whole macro at once) isn't
implemented.  You can combine them with a motion though.

Making a block-undo is probably doable; I just didn't have a reason to 
revisit it since I added the feature (along with show-undo-stack).

I've been building for my own use some rpms that correspond to the VMs
that I've been using:

ftp://invisible-island.net/RPMS

but I've not put the source-rpms there (I'm not entirely sure how 
compatible source-rpms are across different packages, and dislike to
make redundant copies).
