The new version 1.0.5.4 comes with some more explanations on
the tree API in

        Help -> Scheme extensions

In order to test whether you are behind a 'foo' macro, you may use

        (and (tree-is? (cursor-tree) 'foo)
             (== (cDr) (cursor-path) 1))

Testing whether you are before a 'bar' macro is a bit more complex
(I will think about a more satisfactory solution later).
On the other hand, if the 'bar' macro should be part of a 'concat',
then you should be able to use:

        (and (tree-is? (cursor-tree) :up 'concat)
             (tree-is? (cursor-tree) :next 'bar)
             (== (cursor-path) (tree->path (cursor-tree) :end)))

Best wishes, Joris
