I thought there was a connection with pattern matching.

But why does Shen even bother naming these macros? What operations can you perform on andmacro?

In Shen, macros are stored in a global list. I'm guessing you name them so that you can update/remove them later or something. I guess it can also serve as documentation? I dunno. I also thought it was weird that they were named.
