Does Cura support user defined macros and computation and/or logic in macros?

The short answer is "No". PrusaSlicer does allow math and logic in it's StartUp Gcode. Cura doesn't support it.
Let's say your print speed is 50mm/sec. A line like "G1 F{speed_print}" would result in "G1 F50" rather than "G1 F3000" and "G1 F{speed_print * 60}" doesn't work.

That's what I expected was the answer, since I've not seen any examples in which the replacement patterns were part of expressions. I was aware the feature was in PrusaSlicer. A pity it's not part of Cura.
