[ZPT] Editing Expanded Macros

[Robert Rottermann]

I have the impression that I can not unexpand macros after I have expanded
them. So I am careful to untick the respective box when I create a new
template.
However a feature as described below seems to be extremely useful. Provided
I can unexpand the source after clearing the switch.
