Unfortunately, as the macro starting and ending tags are the same ($), I
think that you cannot implement such an extension in an unambiguous way.
Here is an example:
If you get :
$HOSTADDRESS:pre$ARG1$post$
It is impossible to choose between :
($HOSTADDRESS:pre$)ARG1($post$)
And ($HOSTADDRESS:pre($ARG1$)post$)
And it is still harder if you get something like
'$HOSTADDRESS:pre$ARG1$ARG2$'.
To conclude, unless you define some new tags for macro expansion, I think
that this extension is not possible. And defining some new tags would bring
many compatibility problems.
