This is a little space for sharing CQP macros. Each macro here should be listed within a <file> environment that can be directly copy/pasted to a macro file which can be ready by the CQP. Each macro should be prefixed with a comment block containing the following information:

• a short description of what the macros does
• (if applicable) a description of the positional and structural parameters on which the macro relies
• (if applicable) a description of the parameters and their default values (if applicable)
• one or more examples
• author information
• date of the last change
