I think it would be neat to have some better support for converting
"dirty", quickly hacked keyboard macros into "clean" elisp commands.
The command edit-kbd-macro gives some idea how the keys are
translated into commands. But for more complex keyboard macros (such
as those using recursive edit during execution of the macro) it will
be rather tricky to provide an automated mechanism for converting
keyboard macros into elisp commands.
It is a reasonable feature to add, and in fact Multics Emacs had such
a feature. However, I think that many of the features in etc/TODO are
more important than this.
