was afraid of that... bummer.  well, back to the drawing board ;)  I guess 
this is how we ended up with the need for a function in the first place -- 
you (seem to) need "lambda" delayed execution capabilities that aren't easily 
achieved by a macro... :(

Say, Alexandre, would it be a possibility to just bake some magic into wpp for 
this?
