Actually, in the case of the modifier macros, there is a very good reason to change them. Right now,

/cast [nomodifier] Fire Nova; [modifier:alt] Magma Totem

Will cast Magma if alt is held and Fire Nova ONLY when no other modifier is held. That means that if you are accidently pressing shift or ctrl this macro (which may be behaviour you want, but probably not) will do nothing. It will also cause a big problem if you are putting this on an actionbar that is bound to [Shift]+Number (for example, I use the secondary action bar above the standard one with it bound to Shift+` to Shift+9) In this case, Fire nova is impossible to cast with this macro unless you click on it with the mouse.

Additionally if you mouse over it, it will only show the name of the macro, not the spell details (which you may want to remind yourself of for some reason).

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt] Magma Totem; Fire Nova

This, as Rodalpho suggested, would be a marked improvement since it would not cause those issues.
