@item Expression results as strings
You can write @samp{%@var{expr}} to evaluate the expression @var{expr}
and use the result as a string.
@item No passing arguments to macros based upon keyword assignment.
In altmacro mode arguments cannot be passed to macros by keyword assignment.

When you call a macro, you can specify the argument values either by
position, or by keyword. For example, @samp{sum 9,17} is equivalent to
@samp{sum to=17, from=9}.
@samp{sum to=17, from=9}. You can also omit values when using keywords,
so for example @samp{sum to=6} is equivalent to @samp{sum 0, 6}.
@anchor{altmacro-keyword-arguments}
Note however that when operating in altmacro mode arguments can only be
specified by position, not keyword. @xref{Altmacro,,@code{.altmacro}}.
Thus for example:
@example
.altmacro
.macro foo bar=1, baz=2
.print "\bar \baz"
.endm
foo baz=3
@end example
Will print:
@smallexample
baz=3 2
@end smallexample
Rather than the expected:
@smallexample
1 3
@end smallexample
