The world is too varied for that.  How long do you spend fighting, for
example, the warlock types near Booty Bay for you to adjust this macro
before you fight them.  It would be a lot of wasted time across the
levels.

Also, this macro would be more useful in PvP as you often want to
ignore the pet as it will despawn when the owner dies.  Unfortunately,
it would be unworkable in PvP as player and pet names are too varied
and a player may have the same name as a pet.

Well, if you knew what targets might be present in a particular fight,
you could make exactly the macro the OP was looking for.

No, they don't make decision for you what to kill first. The only
thing such macro does is allows you to help with targeting in a pre-
set sequence (e.g. chains first) - kill order is already determined
when writing such macro. They simplify things, but don't automate.

Hmm, so how would you classify the macros that "inteligently" target
Illhoof, Kil'rek or Demon Chains in Karazhan.

These macros effectivley allow one button to make a decision for you
on what to kill first.

It is making a decision for you and that is some level of automation.
You say target and it selects a target intelligently.  I also think
that it can't be done but would like to be proved wrong as it could be
useful.

I don't know of any, no.  But even if one did exist or you were to
write one yourself, it wouldn't be usable in combat.  Blizzard redid
the macro system some time ago to disallow automated selection of
targets while in combat.
