That's because it was actually a BUG.  The "h" extension never should have
executed within the macro context.  It was always documented that the "h"
extension only executes within the main context, where the Macro was called.

We fixed that bug, but with the understanding that people depended upon this
buggy behavior, we made the "h" extension check within the Macro for an "h"
extension, before going to the main context.

This, by the way, is the same reason why fixing CDRs is so difficult.
Everytime we fix a bug, people complain that we "broke" CDRs, because they
depended upon buggy behavior!
