A matrix could not be used for macros with string content. (Strictly,
all macros are strings, but clearly some have numeric content.)

I think that's what do-files are for.

Nevertheless: how about building up a matrix which contains the local 
macros you encounter, which you then save into a variable? You could 
then recover the local macros with -levelsof-, for example.

But I guess a do-file is the more straightforward approach...
