> +While the RPM macro primitives are limited, using *%{lua:...}* enables the
+writing of full-featured, macro-only generators in the Lua language.
+
+The following trivial example creates provides from path basenames, which is
+enormously faster than the equivalent traditional generator shelling out to
+execute a script that calls *basename*(1):
+
+```
+%__foo_provides()	%{basename:%{1}}
+```
+
+Added: 4.16.0
+
+## Multifile protocol
+
+Generators may optionally support an enhanced mode where all matching files are

This is of course in the original text, but the "enhanced" blah looks off to me now. Maybe just "support a mode where"?
