FVWM: keyboard macros

Greetings All,

I'm a keyboard fanatic, and am wondering whether it
would be possible to define little fvwm functions
which would allow for dynamically binding a key to a
sequence of fvwm commands during an fvwm session.

The emacs template I have in mind goes like this: you
type "C-x (" to declare the beginning of a macro
definition, then you proceed along your merry way as
you would normally, and finally you declare end of
macro with "C-x )". I'm curious whether you could do
a similar thing in fvwm. Press F4 or something, fire
up a whole bunch of keyboard (or mouse) events, (some
of which it may pass to application programs, some of
which it handles itself), then end the sequence with
F5, and finally name the sequence Nonsense and bind F6
 to Nonsense for the remainder of the session. Of
course it would be up to the user to make sure that
the definition is sensible to repeat, but still, is it
possible?

Which brings up a related question: can you have
prefix keys in key bindings?
