(C-u C-u C-u C-u C-u C-x C-e) ends up being faster to type than consing

keyboard macro really*is* an editor script!)
I've not needed to do something like this very often. The few times
that I've needed to do it have usually involved (shell) scripts, likely
calling sed and / or awk, possibly with their associated files. (Much
like it looks like was done for mk_cmds.)
I would also consider using Vim's bufdo command across multiple buffers
(""open files). Depending on the complexity, I'd likely define a macro
(if not an all out Vimscript), and execute said macro / Vimscript via
:buffdo.
I had assumed that emacs had similar functionality.
