This is one step forward into allowing writing scripts in VAX snippets.
That would allow snippets to perform different actions depending on the context, symbol names etc.

This will help people writing their own little scripts automating routine operations.

Let me know what you think :)

Correctness might be a theoretical concept but incorrectness has practical implications.

This has come up before, but I am very wary of this. My first reaction is why do you not use the IDE's macro language?

Adding a programming language to VA snippets runs the risk of duplicating the IDE macro system, which seems like a lot of work for very limited return.

Can it then be possible to run macros from VAX snippet and use macro return values in a snippet?

Not directly, but you can trigger VA refactoring via an IDE macro:

what are you trying to do?
