The `mirror` macro allows you to mirror points and/or paths around a mirror line.
It is provided by the [mirror plugin](/reference/plugins/mirror/).

```js
points.a = new Point(5,5)
points.b = new Point(45,30)
points.c = new Point(5,30)
points.d = new Point(45,5)
points.mid = new Point(25,15)


paths.a = new Path()
  .move(points.a)
  .curve(points.b, points.c, points.d)

macro('mirror', {
  mirror: [points.b, points.d],
  points: [points.mid],
  paths: [paths.a]
})

macro('sprinkle', {
  snippet: 'notch',
  on: ['mid', 'mirroredMid']
})
```
