I have a related question - is it possible to pass the name of a macro 
as a parameter in another macro? I notice in the documentation that it 
doesn't say that RVALUE can be a function, though apparently it can 
based on your example, so can it be other things as well?

cshake

example:
#macro lamp1(location,pointat,brightness)
   light_source{...}
#end
...
#macro lamp24(location,pointat,brightness)
   light_source{...}
#end

#macro stringOfLights(Lamp,Center,Brightness)
   #local i=1;
   #while(i<10)
     Lamp(Center+i*x,Center+i*x+<point_vector>,Brightness)
     #local i=i+1;
   #end
#end

stringOfLights("lamp1",<1,2,3>,10)
