 Macros allow you to modify Lambda terms at interpretation time.
 For example you might want to print out a term, resolve its named terms or reduce/normalize it.
-Macros are only evaluated once when the term is initially parsed, after that tey are just replaced with the terms they return.

 ## Available Macros:
 * `!alphaeq` - test two terms for alpha equivalence and return a Church-encoded boolean

 * `!time` - time the macro execution of term inside
 * `!vnormalize`/`!vreduce` - like `!normalize` and `!reduce`, but prints the reduction steps
 
+You may use any unambiguous prefix of a term as shorthand for that term
