When you use a macro, every slot in the macro is filled either with
explicit fill-slot statements or with the default slot contents from the
definition. Therefore, if you are "refining" a macro by using it in
another macro definition, and you want to pass the slot through
(allowing it to be filled by users of the new macro), you need to
re-define the slot. Unfortunately, the current TAL code can't handle
re-defining a slot on the same element that fills it.
