Yes, my coco supports macros. So does Michel Olagnon's f90ppr.
The most useful extension (well, the one I use most often) in my coco
is the Text-Copy feature, which allows something like a template.
That is, a function can be defined in terms of ?kind? and ?type?,
and then copied with ?kind? and ?type? replaced by other strings
as needed. It is, in effect, a copy-paste-substitute tool.
