Keystroke Macros

Often it is convient to collect a set of keystrokes in a macro for later execution. The following commands allow macros to be defined and executed.
    C-X (      Start a keystroke macre definition
    C-X )      End a keystroke macro definition
    C-X e      Execute a keystroke macro

Only one keystroke macro may be defined at a time. Complex operations should probably be programmed in elisp rather than captured as a macro.

Note: We are recording keystrokes here, not commands. If a key is rebound after capturing a macro, playing back the macro will use the new definition.
