[ZPT] Sanity Patch

[Casey Duncan]

I think there is a larger issue here. It should be
possible to set/change this setting globally without
changing code or touching every template. Also, it
should be possible to automagically "unexpand"
template macros after the fact.

I might be inclined to make a proposal to this affect
and see about pushing it through for 2.6.

Turning off this setting by default would be bad
though, because one of the main points of ZPT is to
allow editing of templates by WYSIWYG tools. These
tools, unfortunately, do not work right unless the
macros are expanded.

I think perhaps there needs to be three settings for
an enhanced expand macros option (that can be set
globally or locally to individual PTs):

expand, and stay expanded (like now)
expand on edit and auto collapse
don't expand

Thoughts anyone?
