Chart sharing
Feel free to share the charts around! Just copy the image URL (e.g. Copy image address) and try this in some other chat:  (this is standard Markdown formatting). Or why not try Copy Message Link in Landscape, and paste the contents somewhere.
If you want to save a chart for a long time, please add the save keyword. At some point old charts may have to be deleted from the server where they are stored, and ones without the save keyword will be the ones pruned first.
Known bugs
If you give a command such as @macro $gdpc1 yoy% 2007-01-01 you would expect to see percentage change yoy data also for 2007, but since the start date is provided to the data retriever, the eventual yoy% transform will only give you data for 2008 onwards.
