Robert: I think this makes much more sense, but I don't really know how
anyone uses batch except for as batch(test.mac, 'test), so maybe I'm not
qualified to have an opinion here!

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you do. Presumably, you don't
replace your entire input file with the output from running batch()
(since that wouldn't comment the outputs, among other things). So you
must be copying and pasting parts of the output, no matter what the
format the input is echoed?
Have you considered using load() to load your work and then adding
explicit calls to print() when you want to see intermediate steps?
