Low level UX improvements #93

Summary of Changes

In the wake of the transition to using macros to define commands (to have a good abstraction of a command that eliminates ad hoc tidying etc.), many commands function differently than before. This PR fixes any issues with these commands while also improving other, longstanding UX parameters. The changes include:

Public Domain Dedication

(Why: The freely released, copyright-free work in this repository represents an investment in a better way of doing things called attribution-based economics. Attribution-based economics is based on the simple idea that we gain more by giving more, not by holding on to things that, truly, we could only create because we, in our turn, received from others. As it turns out, an economic system based on attribution -- where those who give more are more empowered -- is significantly more efficient than capitalism while also being stable and fair (unlike capitalism, on both counts), giving it transformative power to elevate the human condition and address the problems that face us today along with a host of others that have been intractable since the beginning. You can help make this a reality by releasing your work in the same way -- freely into the public domain in the simple hope of providing value. Learn more about attribution-based economics at drym.org, tell your friends, do your part.)

Lots of improvements here. Merging since these patch over the issues introduced by the other "macros" PR. Again, review appreciated if you have time - but there will be a final review on the integration branch before merging to main in any case 👍
