For the scope issue, not yet, though I think 2.0 will sort of allow  
you something like this, perhaps.

I suppose in general we could have an empty "custom" grammar included  
in all other grammars, that would allow the user to add his own  
little additions like the one above. But there are complications that  
I'd rather not go into atm. 2.0 will have dynamic scopes though, if I  
remember correctly, which will I think give us some flexibility in  
this matter.

As far as the macro goes of course, there's no problem, you can have  
that work in any grammar.
