The argument I made is that it should be _possible_ to convert a keyboard macro into a Lisp function. Hence if some command needs to printed to *Messages* during macro execution, then it should be possible to have that command print the same message from Lisp. Hence if printing the message from Lisp _by default_ is undesirable in such a situation, one needs to use an argument, as explained in `(elisp)Interactive Call'. Hence the current behavior of interactive-p is correct. Sincerely, Luc.
