This is a subtle issue and not a bug, strictly speaking.

The point is that, within a style package, there is a difference between the editing environment while editing your package, and the changes to the environment that are caused when including your style package.

You may very well write a style package X that could be used jointly with two packages A, B that both define a certain macro F, but with different arities.  When selecting the package A as a style package for editing X, you will be able to use F with the arity from A.  But this does not mean that A gets automatically imported when importing X.  (For this, there is the use-package primitive.)

Still, I agree that it is handy to at least determine the right arities of the macros added by X when editing X.  I did the necessary in revision 13921, by adding all macros defined using 'assign' to the editing environment.

I made a mistake.

I applied a slightly modified version of your patch in revision 13920.  Please check that I did not make a silly mistake.

It has been reported by user jonsterling on the forum that macros are not always activated with the correct number of arguments when editing in style files or preambles:

http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/editing-macros-in-an-extracted-style-file/941

For example, if a macro

<assign|con|<macro|x|<math|<math-ss|<arg|x>>>>>

is defined, typing "\con <RET>" normally puts the cursor inside the first argument of "<con| >". However, sometimes "<con>" is inserted, without arguments.

From my experimentation it seems that only a limited amount of macros defined at the start of a style file behave in the correct way.
