There is a small explanation available in the help menu.
Roughly speaking, macro/expand/arg corresponds to macros
whose arguments can edited interactively (example: strong)
and func/apply/value to "functions" whose arguments can
not be directly edited (example: cite).

I will write a better documentation when I will have time...
