That was my feeling also, all the macros I define in latex have also the
important goal of hidding verbosity and reduce typing.

I agree, it has to be just one syntax, mixing latex and m4 would only
add confusion. If anything, I could write my own little parser to try to
implement a simple preprocessor that can recognize simple latex
conditionals and output processed latex. But there _must_ be something
like that already done, right? :-) 

Another option would be to hack into latex2html and see how they do the
htmlonly and latexonly conditionals and replicate that for my own
purposes (but then it is now longer the standard latex2html). 

Of course it could also be argued that using conditionals is not
realistic, if you start adding them left and right the source could
become unreadable very fast. But that is something I can control.
