Yes, this is a known issue. I agree that it would be nice to improve
this -- perhaps in 2.2 -- but I'm also worried that it might lead to
absurd amounts of needless recompiling, because one often makes minor
changes to modules that export macros, without the macros being changed
at all.
I'm marking this as a "wishlist" item.
Thanks,
Mark
