/* We rolled back the change that made issue 54 feature work:

a) macros run can corrupt the datastack;
b) the user didn't really need it badly; it was a corner case for them,
   and they said better to skip it.

Since it is more important to have the Go/zygo script interface
work, and this depends on datastack leaving the right values
for Go to find, we have rolled back the change that enabled
the issues/54 feature. So we also comment out this test.
