Ok, how would it know how many instructions to skip?
BTFSS/c skip the next instruction, right?
Otherwise, it would have to act as a relative, or absolute jump of vairable length, and that would require a range limitation, or trailing parameter to take the absolute address.

The instruction is documented as BTFSS file,bit so there's no way to input where to jump to.. So, it seems obvious that this has to be a 'skip next instruction' implementation, and it will skip the first instruction of your macro, but it will not skip the entire macro.

One reason I don't use macros...
