I've been misunderstood.  I also meant to bind C-n/C-p to the new  
functions.

But if keyboard macros don't record the invoked functions, but key  
presses, then that won't help of course.
This is only about backwards compatibility!

If a user records a new macro using movement keys, then they should  
get the new behavior, of course...
