So, if I understand you correctly, my macro would look something vaguely 
like...

[macro-stdexten]
${ARG1},hint,SIP/${ARG1}
s,1,Dial(${ARG1})?

This will work? My understand was that by going into a macro, you were 
going to be using the "s" extension. I'm not sure how that hint would 
get called if its not inside the s extension.
