On-Demand Macros issue

[Bryan Loniewski]

To answer my own question..

After looking through the code, it appears what I want is not possible. The code seems 
to parse on the ":" and believes what follows it ($ARG1$) to be the hostname which is 
then passed to a function that looks up other attributes for that hostname in memory.

Thus, the expansion of $ARG1$ is not possible inside an On-Demand macro.

Would others find this useful if a patch is applied?
