At least then > it would be possible to convert an existing macro. This is easy to implement, but replaying the macro is not always possible. Why not? It seems to me that if you can define the macro over again, you can replay it. (Either way, it will carry out the actions of the macro.) Replaying the macro is less work than typing it again. Therefore, if this feature operates by executing the commands in the macro, it should do so by replaying.
