 The %{...} form allows you to place the expansion adjacent to other text.

+Example:
+\verbatim

+Usage:
+
+\verbatim
+	%mymacro 5
+\endverbatim
+
+This expands to:
+
+\verbatim
+	(echo -n "My arg is 5" ; sleep 5 ; echo done.)
+\endverbatim
+
+This will cause all occurances of %1 in the macro definition to be
+replaced by the first argument to the macro, but only if the macro
+is invoked as "%mymacro 5".  Invoking as "%{mymacro} 5" will not work
+as desired in this case.
