No, I did not say that. If it does not belong to a
category you want then do not redistribute it. Ask
the submitter (!) to edit the macro - or edit the
macro and send it back to the submitter to show it.
Just make it so that everyone has the same - on
download, at the submitter, in the repository cvs.

That hurts, please, just don't play stupid - the target was:
Allowed @category syntax items in stored macro
=identical=
Visible header names in the website listing
Question: Is there _any_ reason why you want them not to be
identical? Why is it "Misc" in the stored macro
instead of "Miscellaneous", why is it "C" instead
of "C Support"?
