I'm unable to add any commands commands to macros.
The command line reader doesn't know to specially parse
`commands' commands like it does `if' and `while'.
It'd be a useful feature to have.
[whether one want this to apply to all commands that take input
followed by `end' I dunno]

bash$ gcc -g hello.c
bash$ gdb-5.2.1 ./a.out
(gdb) define foo
break main
commands
echo foo\n
end
(gdb) show user foo
User command foo:
break main
commands
echo foo\n
(gdb) foo
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048406: file hello.c, line 6.
[gdb is now hung waiting for the user to type `end']
end # <<< type this in
foo # gdb prints this, the commands of breakpoint 1 are run
(gdb) quit

fwiw I have a patch, if only I could submit it ....

Oops, thinko.
s/commands of breakpoint 1 are run/rest of macro foo is run/
