I looked for 'spirit' in the index of the Lisp ref, and didn't find it.
We have never tried to make the Lisp Manual document all the design
principles of Emacs, because that's not part of its job.
Why do you think this is rarely used -- I use it _often_.
I am sure most users only occasionally define a keyboard macro, and
don't have so many that they need to look at the definitions through a
ring. Users who define keyboard macros often enough to want this
feature are surely few in number.
And C-x e e e ... already does something very similar.
Nobody has complained about that so far.
And C-u C-SPC C-SPC C-SPC ...
These are much more limited--but indeed the first of them bothers me.
With your proposal, I have to mess up the window layout just to rotate
the macro ring
I don't think that is a valid conclusion. Exiting this mode
in the "usual" way could restore the old window layout.
