My position is that the manual is not an appropriate place to document
wishlist items for our TODO list, which is what this is.  So no, I would
not merge it into our manual.

However, I agree with you that a macro stepper would be a very useful
thing to have, to help people to debug and understand macro libraries.
I believe that the appropriate place for this is as a ticket in our bug
tracking system.  That is our preferred way to keep track of unsolved
bugs and TODO list items.

I would encourage you to file a ticket by sending an email to
bug-guile@gnu.org with all of the relevant information.

I would also ask that you consider the possibility that I am
not your enemy.
