How else would you specify multiple commands for one macro?

Some kind of key binding. If we allowed all keys, it would probably make
sense to use the sendkeys style format, but I assume we'll only support
ctrl-alt-<letter> which already has a special meaning.

You are thinking about having this to avoid typing in the macro each
time you start a VM? For something the user might want to touch I'd
prefer a simple solution like reading ~/.qemurc or something like that
and executing it as a "monitor script".
