Use {wait} instead of %wait%. Done by LinDesignator this way and it makes more sense; %wait% was in fact a hack and would not have been done if I'd considered someone else might try to write a QF-CSV parser of their own.

In cells and aliases.txt, % should be specially treated as an abbreviation for {wait}. When outputting to DF macros, % commands are just ignored because they have no useful function.

{wait} is still needed for keys mode, for Visualize.

For macro output mode, consider implementing {wait} per how LinDesignator does it. Even though it would not seem to have any useful function. Still take % as '', but pass {wait} through in case there's some need for it I am not aware of.
