I really love Emacs, but this feature is also (basically) available in
Eclipse and Visual Studio - see
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/v-s/devstudio_macros/article.php/c3097/

As I don't use these tools I can't tell how well they work, probably
they are not as good as "our" macro system, but they exist.
