<para>Executes a macro using the context macro-<replaceable>name</replaceable>,
jumping to the <literal>s</literal> extension of that context and executing each step,
then returning when the steps end.</para>
<para>The calling extension, context, and priority are stored in <variable>MACRO_EXTEN</variable>,
<variable>MACRO_CONTEXT</variable> and <variable>MACRO_PRIORITY</variable> respectively. Arguments
become <variable>ARG1</variable>, <variable>ARG2</variable>, etc in the macro context.</para>
<para>If you Goto out of the Macro context, the Macro will terminate and control will be returned
at the location of the Goto.</para>
<para>If <variable>MACRO_OFFSET</variable> is set at termination, Macro will attempt to continue
at priority MACRO_OFFSET + N + 1 if such a step exists, and N + 1 otherwise.</para>
<para>Extensions: While a macro is being executed, it becomes the current context. This means that if
a hangup occurs, for instance, that the macro will be searched for an <literal>h</literal> extension,
NOT the context from which the macro was called. So, make sure to define all appropriate extensions
in your macro! (Note: AEL does not use macros)</para>
<warning><para>Because of the way Macro is implemented (it executes the priorities contained within
it via sub-engine), and a fixed per-thread memory stack allowance, macros are limited to 7 levels
of nesting (macro calling macro calling macro, etc.); It may be possible that stack-intensive
applications in deeply nested macros could cause asterisk to crash earlier than this limit.
It is advised that if you need to deeply nest macro calls, that you use the Gosub application
(now allows arguments like a Macro) with explict Return() calls instead.</para></warning>
