Not really, given that (1) window-width changes quite rarely,
and (2) most macros are used immediately (in the same buffer/window) and
then discarded (or rather, forgotten about).

Anyway, what you're suggesting seems every bit as bad, or worse, than
the problem it's purporting to solve -- without, as far as I can see,
any actual evidence that there _is_ a problem (have we gotten any bug
reports?).
