[Bf-python] bpy.types.macro - use cases

[dima glib]

Indeed, bpy.types.Macro is a pretty useful mechanism which is left
completely unexplained in the official documentation. I had no idea that
stringing operators together is even possible until I accidenatlly stumbled
upon Macro usage in someone's code. Just in case, here's one more link to a
stackexchange question regarding Macro:
https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/39716/running-code-after-a-modal-operator-finished-its-job

Hm, perhaps this discussion also concerns  bf-docboard at blender.org?
