 It seems that almost every macro has to reimplement its own argument
 parser. This doesn't seem ideal.

 I've implemented a generic argument parser for the tags plugin, available
 [http://muness.textdriven.com/svn/edu/support/trac/tags-
 plugin/tractags/parseargs.py here]. It parses arguments like this: `kw=(a,
 b, c), foo, bar`, and returns a tuple of `(positional[], keywords{})`.

 If you think this is a good idea, I can clean it up for submission.
