I don't understand why you would want a macro language in mc.

If you want to use in the menu, extension file, syntax highlighting, then
a language with a better regular expression support should be preferred,
for example Perl.

But then you can just make a clean start and write a file manager in an
interpreted language.  Although the project of that size would be easier
to write in a more scalable language, e.g. Python or Ruby.
