Yes i noticed that.
But what i meant was more like with functions in any other language:

function myFunction(aobject){
aobject.doStuff
}

call myFunction(weblogentry)    OR
call myFunction(weblogarchive)

This way the macro stays the same and can be reused.
What i have seen sofar is that the maco's explicitly know which objects to
use.

I modified the weblog view template somewhat to show the weblogentry author.
I used the document_byline macro for this. The document byline macro uses
here.something. But its get called from the weblog (not the entry) so here is
the weblog, not the entry.
I had to make a second macro that uses weblogentry.something .
If the macro could be handed a object they would have stayed the same,
because it could do object.something .
Thats why i asked.
