IMHO, electricity should be turned off when called from keyboard
macros. Electricity is a visual thing and there is no need for visual
effects when invoking macros: if someone wants to see what happens,
she will use something else than macros, which exist to speed things
up. It is very inconvenient, IMHO, when someone types a long macro
and sees sequentially, N times, the cursor on a left brace each second
(it doesn't seem useful to me), and has to put one additional C-q
before all the electric keystrokes in her macro. Turning electricity
off doesn't change the result, which is what counts most in macros.
Maybe a special "boolean" variable could mean "hey, don't turn
electricity off even in macros": if t, then executing from a macro
will not be a sufficient reason to turn electricity off; if nil
(default), executing from a macro will always turn electricity off.
Would everyone agree in this case, at least?

I don't understand that, in the case of electricity at least.
