hi!

when i redefine an existing macro with 'atomselect macro ...'
i noticed, that representations using this macro are
not updated unless i edit the selection string for
this representation (e.g. by deleting and adding the
same character) and hit enter. since i'm using this
macro to keep a rather complicated geometry selection
consistent across many representations.

i'm now wondering, if this is the intended/preferred behavior,
so it would be better to implement an 'updmacro' subcommand
to atomselect, to get the behavior i would like or
whether it would be preferable to change 'atomselect macro'
directly to trigger re-evaluation of uses of that macro.

any input would be appreciated.

cheers,
   axel.
