Currently, when one invokes a macro, instead of an indication that the
macro is running, the invocation key sequence is displayed in the
mini-buffer, eg. `C-u 0 C-x e', until the macro completes (or maybe
until the macro itself sends something to the mini-buffer?).
For a macro invocation that takes a long time to run, either because of
the macro itself or because of the number of times it is being repeated,
I found the result disquieting:
1] Did I forget to type something, and is emacs waiting for me to finish
entering the command?
2] Did something crash?
3] Is anything happening?
4] Should I `C-g' and try again?
In my case, the macro repeated 221 times for the entire buffer, for a
run-time of about fifteen seconds, enough time to get nervous and turn to
the emacs documentation, but not enough time to abort an otherwise fine
macro run.
ENHANCEMENT REQUEST: When a macro starts running, display a message in
the mini-buffer. Some possible formats might be:
a] macro [optional name] runnning . . .
b] macro [optional name] runnning ( n of m times) . . .
