Well... I may be mistaken, but I believe this works:

#macro dostuff()
#write(MYFILE, "hi")
#end

#fopen MYFILE "myfile.txt" write
dostuff()
#fclose MYFILE

You just can't pass the actual file handle to the macro, so you have to be
able to pre-write the macro knowing what the filehandle will be named. A
significant restriction, yes. Not horrible though.
