I gave it another try, but but but : 
 - it's impossible to pass a spline identifier as a #macro parameter
 - it's impossible to #declare a point :
         #declare Point = SplineIdent (Value);
 I had to go trough sidepaths to achieve what I needed to do (e.g.
 creating a temporary spline from a declared array within the macro)

 - and I still miss the "linear natural cubic" quality of the other
   splines.  (and if I write a #macro to evenly distribute the "samples"
   along the spline, the parsing times will go trough the roof, as it
   does, alas, when using Kari's #macro).

  (please consider this as a report, not a complain/request)
