I was going to say this yesterday but my connection problems were even
worse than usual.
Yes, vectors are extremely useful macro parameters. I would just like to
point out that in this specific case the dot operator is not needed at
all, though yes, it is very useful at cutting down parameters when
individual components are needed. I ran out of parameters on my tree
macro, using vectors, so now I'm even passing it arrays!
#macro Foo(Trans)
translate Trans
#end
