If you cannot clean up properties in a macro, then you cannot do complex macros.

I propose a <local> element to macrodef that identifies a property you dont want
retained after the macro executes. Usual precedence rules apply; if it was set
before the macro ran, it won't get deleted as the macro terminates.
